The Science Behind NutriPlanPro 50+
Most nutrition apps won't tell you where their numbers come from. This one will.
Energy estimates
Mifflin–St Jeor equation
NutriPlanPro 50+ uses an established equation to estimate resting metabolic rate—the energy your body uses at rest. It combines basic personal information to create an estimate, not a direct laboratory measurement.

PROT-AGE Study Group
The PROT-AGE position paper explains why many adults over 65 may need more protein than the standard adult recommendation, particularly when maintaining muscle and function is the goal.

Paddon-Jones and colleagues
This research discusses why spreading protein across meals may matter, rather than focusing only on one daily total. NutriPlanPro 50+ uses that principle to support practical meal planning.

Research-informed, never arbitrary
Published evidence is a starting point—not medical advice.
Grounding our guidance in published research means our recommendations aren't arbitrary. It does not mean they're personalised medical advice. NutriPlanPro 50+ accounts for common conditions and medications, but it can't know your medical history, your lab results, or how your medications interact with your diet. Your doctor can.
