LOW CARB
MUSCLE GAIN

Solving the intersection of controlled carbohydrate intake under 100g daily and hypertrophy-grade protein density targeting 1.6–2.2g/kg bodyweight. This index filters for 30g+ protein per serving while engineering meals that satisfy both low carb dietary requirements and muscle gain macro targets — no compromises.

Muscle Gain
Logistics

Low Carb muscle gain requires consistent batching to avoid falling back on suboptimal defaults. Follow these logistics for a successful 5-day cycle.

Storage Protocols

Low Carb Protein Storage

Store low carb proteins in airtight glass containers. Separate wet sauces from dry components to maintain texture through day 5.

Grain Base Prep

Cook grains in 2lb batches. Use glass containers and cool completely before sealing to prevent soggy texture during storage.

Macro Optimization

Protein Stacking

Layer protein sources per meal to hit 40g+. Combine legumes with dairy or soy for complete amino acid profiles.

Calorie Surplus Control

Maintain a 200-300 calorie surplus with pre-measured portions. Add calorie-dense toppings (nuts, seeds, oil) in measured amounts.
