About the PE Diet Calculator

This calculator is based on the formula described in the book The P:E Diet by Dr. Ted Naiman. The Protein-to-Energy (PE) ratio measures how much protein a food contains relative to its non-protein energy (fat + carbs − fiber).

A higher PE ratio means a food is more protein-dense, which supports satiety and better body composition. Foods with a PE ratio above 2.0 are considered excellent choices for fat loss.
