FAQ
How much protein do I need per meal?
A good target is 25-40g of protein per meal across 3-4 meals daily. This hits the leucine threshold needed to trigger muscle protein synthesis.

Yes. High-protein meals keep you full longer and preserve muscle while in a calorie deficit. Pair the wheel with a calorie target and you're set.
Can vegetarians and vegans use this wheel?
Absolutely. Remove animal-based options and add plant-based ones like tofu stir-fry, lentil bowls, tempeh tacos, and protein-shake smoothies.
What's the cheapest high-protein meal?
Eggs, canned tuna, cottage cheese, and dried lentils all give 20g+ protein for under $1 per serving.
