Higher-Protein Day

A day built to hit adequate protein without overdoing it. Include a quality protein source at each main meal and distribute it evenly rather than loading dinner. Especially useful alongside resistance training or with aging; more protein is not automatically better.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
