01
Wasted intake
Hitting a massive daily target in one sitting is inefficient. Your coach programs spaced doses to ensure your body gets protein when it is most useful.
For dedicated lifters: Stop wasting your daily protein on one evening meal.
You need a precise protein schedule for muscle gain, not just a daily total. This AI coach programs five timed doses around your training and sleep to hit the leucine threshold.

You: I missed my afternoon meal and only have three hours until I go to sleep.
Your coach: I will combine your missed dose with your pre-sleep cottage cheese. You still hit your daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight without staying up late.

The problem
Why a daily total falls short
02
Missed thresholds
Grazing on small snacks fails to clear the leucine threshold. The plan programs specific minimum doses per meal to ensure each feeding counts.
03
Poor training alignment
Generic plans ignore when you lift. Your coach programs a targeted dose within the hour of a heavy session, rather than leaving it to chance.
The method
How Protein Architect builds your plan
01
Five daily doses
Your coach programs a daily protein target scaled to your bodyweight, divided into five meals. Each meal is designed to clear the leucine threshold.
RuleFive meals a day, with no more than four hours between them.
02
Matched to your training
Lifting days get their own menu, with a dose before the session and another within the hour after it. Rest days keep all five doses with fewer carbs.
RuleReach the top of each rep range, then add weight.
03
Recovery tracking
The plan reads your sleep and heart rate data from Apple Health. If your sleep quality drops, your coach adjusts today's session to match your readiness.
RuleLog sleep and fatigue daily; a rough reading lightens your next session.
04
Scheduled relief
Continuous heavy lifting requires planned recovery. The coach programs lighter weeks to shed fatigue, and your five protein doses stay the same through them.
RuleEvery fourth week is lighter, or sooner after three high-fatigue days.
Your week
A typical training week

Built to adapt
A plan that moves when your week does.
It reads your recovery
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. When sleep, HRV or resting heart rate say you are under-recovered, today's session gets lighter. Planned deloads follow your coach's schedule, and you can ask for one in chat.
Chat that changes the plan
Travelling, sore, short on time, missed a meal: tell your coach at any hour. It rebuilds the week or re-portions the day, and confirms the change in chat.
Check-ins it acts on
Daily check-ins and progress photos go to your coach, and your plan is adjusted from what actually happened, not what was scheduled.

Questions
Straight answers.
Something else? Ask your coach in chat once you are in. It answers at any hour.
How long are the training sessions?
Each upper and lower body session is programmed to take up to 60 minutes.
What if I eat a plant-based diet?
Add it to your intake and every menu swaps its animal foods for plant-based ones. In chat, your coach can help you combine plant proteins to reach each dose.
Do I need to weigh every single thing I eat?
The focus is on hitting your five daily protein doses. Your coach programs specific foods like chicken, whey, or cottage cheese to meet those targets.
What happens if I get injured or my joints hurt?
If you report joint discomfort or high fatigue, the coach can trigger a deload week early or swap out specific exercises in the chat.
How does the coach know if I am recovering properly?
The app reads your resting heart rate and sleep from Apple Health or Health Connect, and your daily check-in logs fatigue and hunger. A rough reading lightens your next session.
What do I get for free?

Is this a real coach or an AI?
