Frequently asked questions
Use the calorie calculator further up this page. Answer six quick questions about your age, size, activity and goal, and it gives you a daily target plus a suggested mix of meal sizes to look for in the generator. It takes under a minute.
Once you have your daily calorie target, pick meal sizes that add up to it — the calculator suggests a combination for you, like two 700-calorie meals and one 600. Whether your goal is losing fat, building muscle or maintaining, it's the same recipes, just the right portion for you.
Yes — it's designed for exactly that. You don't need to weigh food, log every bite or use an app. Work out your daily target once, then choose meals that fit it. That's the whole system.

From our 30s onward we naturally lose 3–8% of our muscle each decade. Eating enough protein, paired with strength training, is the most reliable way to slow that down — so every meal here is built around a proper serve of it.
Every recipe can be scaled. Use the servings control on any meal and the ingredient amounts adjust automatically — handy if you're cooking for two or batch-cooking for the week.
