Frequently asked questions
Built for men 18 to 40 who are serious about building muscle: gaining (bulk), losing fat while keeping muscle (cut), or holding their weight (maintain).
Most research supports 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, which is about 0.7 to 1 gram per pound. A 180 lb lifter lands at roughly 130 to 180 grams a day. Aim toward the top of that range during a cut to help keep muscle. Split it across 3 to 5 meals of about 30 to 50 grams each.
Set calories about 250 to 500 above maintenance and aim to gain roughly 0.25 to 0.5 percent of body weight per week. Hit your protein number first, then fill the rest with carbs and fats. Weigh yourself several mornings a week and compare weekly averages. If the average isn't moving after two weeks, add about 100 to 200 calories a day.
Set calories about 300 to 500 below maintenance and aim to lose roughly 0.5 to 1 percent of body weight per week. Keep protein high (around 2 grams per kilogram) and keep training heavy. Track weekly average body weight, not single weigh-ins. If you lose faster than 1 percent a week for several weeks, eat a little more.
Eat your next planned meal as normal. Don't skip it or make it smaller because of the meal you missed. If your protein is short for the day, add a protein-rich food to that next meal, such as eggs, chicken, Greek yogurt, or a protein shake.
A general chatbot only knows what you type into it each time. Nutrition GPS keeps your goal, body stats, training days, and every meal you log, so its targets and advice are based on your actual day. It also enforces fixed rules, such as a calorie floor and a safe rate of gain or loss, that a chatbot won't apply consistently.
A calorie counter records what you ate. Nutrition GPS sets the target, tracks how far you are from it, and tells you what to do next to reach it, including adjusting for training days and missed meals. Meals can be logged from a photo or a short text description instead of searching a food database.
