Spread Protein Across the Day, Not Just at Dinner
Most people eat 15g at breakfast, 20g at lunch, and 80g+ at dinner. The problem: muscle protein synthesis tops out at roughly 35–40g per meal. Getting there 3–4 times a day is significantly more effective than one large evening hit — even at the same daily total.
Less effective
Hits the daily target, but most of the dinner protein can't be used efficiently.
More effective
Each meal triggers a full muscle protein synthesis response — same total, better use.

Why Protein Is Harder to Eyeball Than Calories
Calorie-dense foods tend to look different — a bag of chips vs. a salad is obvious. Protein is invisible. Two portions that look identical can have wildly different protein content, which is exactly why tracking it specifically matters.
Same serving size, very different protein
Common protein underestimates
"I had protein at every meal"
A small piece of chicken, two eggs, some cheese — that's probably 60–80g total. Most active people need 120–180g. You'd never know without tracking.
Protein bars vary wildly
Some bars have 20–25g protein. Others marketed as "protein bars" have 8g. Scanning the barcode takes one second and tells you exactly what you're getting.
Restaurant portions aren't standard
A "grilled chicken entrée" could be 120–400g of meat depending on the restaurant. The AI photo feature gives a far better estimate than guessing.
