Free Daily Protein & Water Calculator
Calculate your personalized daily protein target (in grams) and recommended water intake (in liters) to support sustainable weight control, clean vitality, and lean muscle tone.
According to nutritional science, adults require between 1.2g to 2.0g of protein per kilogram of body weight depending on activity level and goals (higher during weight loss to preserve muscle and curb cravings). For hydration, the baseline recommendation is 35 ml of clean fluids per kg of body weight daily, plus 500 ml for each hour of moderate physical activity.
How to Reach Your Targets Easily (Without Counting Every Calorie)
Hitting 100g+ of pure protein exclusively from solid foods can require cooking 4–5 chicken breasts, eggs, or lentils daily—often leading to digestive heaviness or unwanted extra fats and calories. Here is a simple, proven framework used by hundreds of clients across South Africa:
2 scoops Formula 1 Shake + 1 scoop PDM blended in 300ml cold water. Hydrates, fuels your cells, and stops mid-morning sugar cravings.
Grilled chicken breast, tuna salad, or tofu stir-fry with a generous portion of colorful fibrous vegetables and sweet potato or quinoa.
1 Herbalife Formula 1 Express Bar, Greek yoghurt, or a handful of raw almonds accompanied by a large glass of water or Herbal Aloe Drink.
Fish fillet with broccoli and avocado, or a second light Formula 1 Shake if your objective is steady weight loss.
