Your daily protein floor is 1.6 g per kg of body weight, using an adjusted weight above BMI 30. This is the same rule the NutriOptio app uses in reduced-appetite mode.
A common evidence-based floor is 1.6 g of protein per kg of body weight per day. Above a BMI of 30, it is applied to an adjusted body weight (the weight at BMI 22 plus 25% of the excess), so the target stays realistic. Your own target depends on your weight, activity and clinical advice.
On a GLP-1 you may eat far less. A percentage of a smaller intake shrinks the protein target exactly when protecting muscle matters most; a floor based on body weight does not move.
General information, not medical advice. If you take a GLP-1 medication, agree your nutrition targets with your prescriber.
NutriOptio's reduced-appetite mode tracks your protein floor and stops grading you on calories you cannot eat.
