Common questions

How much protein should I eat?

For people who strength train, research suggests around 1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day is enough to support muscle gain for most people. Our protein article explains how to spread it across your meals.

Do I need protein powder or supplements?

No. Powders are a convenient option, but whole foods such as eggs, dairy, fish, meat, beans, lentils and tofu can meet your needs on their own.

Can you help me calculate my calories?

Yes. Use our free calorie calculator for an estimate of your daily needs, then the nutrition tracker to log meals against your targets.
