Built for male physiology — accurate TDEE estimation and deficit targets to lose fat while keeping muscle.
Higher baseline testosterone and more muscle mass mean men often see faster early results — but weight loss rates equalize over time.
Each pound of muscle burns ~6 more calories per day at rest. Strength training while in a deficit protects and builds lean mass.
Men in a calorie deficit should aim for at least 0.8–1 g of protein per pound of bodyweight to maintain muscle during fat loss.
