PDRI means Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes. It gives reference values for planning and assessing the diets of healthy Filipinos. Its Recommended Nutrient Intake, or RNI, is a population benchmark, not a personalised prescription.
A gentle food-first starting point for regular movement. It is a practical calculator level, not the PDRI RNI translated to every body weight.
Our practical default. It is close to the PDRI RNI when expressed against its reference weight and can help spread useful servings across the day.
A higher practical target for women doing consistent resistance training. More protein alone does not build more muscle. Training provides the stimulus.
How to use this: treat the calculator result as a starting range, then adjust for appetite, training, health and professional advice. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney disease, illness or recovery need individual guidance.
