About Whey Protein Scoop Calculator

Converts a protein target into scoops and grams of powder, and reports the powder's protein density and cost per serving.

Formula

Powder servings

Scoops = protein target / protein per scoop; powder grams = scoops x scoop weight; protein content = protein per scoop / scoop weight x 100

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does protein content vary?

Concentrates run about 70 to 80% protein by weight while isolates reach 85 to 90%, with the rest lactose, fat and flavouring.

Is powder better than food?

No, only more convenient. Total daily protein and its distribution matter far more than the source.
