Protein across the day
For exercising adults, a common evidence-based range is about 1.4–2.0 g/kg/day, adjusted for goal and individual tolerance.

FUEL PERFORMANCE — SUPPORT HEALTH
Nutrition does not need theatre. Build meals around protein, plants, useful carbohydrates, healthy fats and enough total energy for the goal.
Enter the system ↓01 / THE FOUNDATION
For exercising adults, a common evidence-based range is about 1.4–2.0 g/kg/day, adjusted for goal and individual tolerance.
Use more around demanding training and less when activity is low. Food timing should serve the session, not become obsession.
Fruit, vegetables, whole-food variety, water and adequate sodium support health, digestion and performance.
General exercising-adult range, not a medical prescription.
A practical general range used in sports nutrition literature.
02 / THE PROTOCOL
Use the same sequence until good decisions become easier to reproduce under pressure.
Choose a protein source, vegetables or fruit, a carbohydrate matched to activity and an appropriate fat source.
Keep simple meals available so exhaustion does not make every decision.
A mixed meal 2–3 hours before works for many people; use a smaller easy-to-digest option closer to training if needed.
A short comfortable walk supports daily movement and can help the transition out of a heavy meal.
