QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.
For muscle building, around 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg of body weight; for fat loss, closer to the upper end of this range.
Yes—provided that the meals are balanced and contain enough vegetables, fiber, and micronutrients. Protein alone does not constitute a healthy diet.
Sure, most dishes can be frozen without any problems and retain their structure and nutritional value.
The most effective approach is to have 1–2 prep sessions per week. More than that is often too time-consuming, while fewer means you have to do it more often.
Absolutely. Start with 3–5 meals for the week and gradually increase. You don't have to approach it like a professional bodybuilder.
