Generally, a mix of protein, vegetables and fruit, whole-grain carbohydrates, and healthy fats in proportions that fit your individual needs and preferences.
It depends on your weight, activity level, and goals. Our Protein Calculator gives a personalized range based on current general guidance.
This varies by age, sex, weight, height, and activity level. Our Calorie and TDEE Calculators can give you a personalized estimate.
No — carbohydrates are a normal part of most healthy diets. Whole-food sources like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains are generally preferred over highly processed ones.
General guidance suggests roughly half your body weight in ounces as a starting point, adjusted for activity level. Try our Water Intake Calculator for a personalized estimate.
Not necessarily. Calorie counting is one tool among several — some people do better with simpler approaches like portion control or a protein-and-produce focus.
A meal with easily digestible carbohydrates and moderate protein, roughly 1-3 hours before training, works well for most people.
A combination of protein and carbohydrates within a few hours of training supports recovery for most people.
