Common questions
How are macros calculated?

Which macro style should I use?
Balanced is the safest default. Higher protein can help with satiety and muscle retention, while lower carb may suit some eating preferences.
Should I adjust macros over time?
Yes. If hunger, energy, training performance, or body-weight trend are off, adjust macros or calories based on real-world feedback.
