Protein Target (1.6-2.2g/kg)
Hit 1.6-2.2g protein per kg bodyweight daily across 3-5 meals. The single most important nutritional target for muscle preservation, satiety, and healthy aging.
Plate Method Default
Build default meals around half plants, one palm of protein, slow carbohydrates, and a healthy fat.
Ultra-Processed Food Swap
Replace one daily ultra-processed anchor food with a minimally processed alternative you still enjoy.
Fiber Ramp
Increase fiber gradually using beans, oats, berries, vegetables, chia, or psyllium to avoid GI backlash.
