How Much Protein Do You Need?

A beginner-friendly explanation of goal-based protein targets for fat loss, recomp, maintenance, and muscle gain.

Protein Supports The Plan

Protein helps meals feel more satisfying and supports muscle repair from training. The app uses goal-specific targets based on current body weight.

Fat loss and recomp targets generally lean higher. Maintenance and bulking targets can still be high enough to support training without crowding out carbs and fats.

Make It Practical

Build meals around a protein anchor such as poultry, fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, tofu, lentils, beans, or other foods that fit your preferences.

If the daily number feels intimidating, split it across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one snack.
