How to use these numbers

Treat protein as the floor you hit every day and calories as a weekly average — one big dinner doesn't undo anything. Weigh yourself a few mornings a week and judge the trend over two to three weeks, not day to day.

If the scale hasn't moved in the direction you want after three weeks, adjust calories by about 10% and hold again. Slow and boring beats aggressive and abandoned.

These are general estimates for healthy adults, not medical or dietary advice. See our disclaimer.
