Frequently asked questions

How much protein do I need?

0.7–1 g per pound of body weight supports muscle retention in a deficit; more is rarely harmful but rarely necessary.

Do macro ratios matter for fat loss?

Calories drive weight change; macros drive body composition, satiety and training performance.
