Let your plan learn

Pro uses complete intake records and trend weight to make measured weekly adjustments.

The method, in plain language.

Use a surplus you can adjust.

Adding 200–500 kcal to estimated maintenance is a practical comparison range, not a promise of muscle gain. The ideal surplus depends on training experience, recovery and your starting body composition. A small increase can be enough. Record your intake and trend weight, and adjust if the rate is faster than intended.

Protein is part of the plan, not the whole plan.

This preset assigns a higher share of energy to protein while retaining carbohydrates for training and fat for a balanced diet. A percentage-based target changes as calories change; inspect the resulting grams against your body weight and needs. Strength training, sleep and adequate overall nutrition remain essential.

A few useful answers

Will a surplus guarantee lean muscle gain?

No. Weight gain can include muscle, fat, water and glycogen. A calculator cannot separate them. Use training progress, body measurements and longer-term weight trends together.

Can I change the surplus?

Yes. Adjust the weekly gain slider or choose a 200–500 kcal comparison. Recheck targets after you have consistent records.
