Meal Train Protein Anchor
A meal train protein anchor sets fixed protein grams per meal before carbs and fats flex—keeping weekday plates from drifting carb-heavy midweek.
A meal train protein anchor fixes protein grams at each meal stop—breakfast, lunch, dinner, optional snack—before carbs and fats flex around training. Anchors stop the train from becoming carb-heavy by Wednesday.
Weigh or label prepped portions once on Sunday. Adjust anchors when body weight or training phase changes, not daily whims.
Common questions
-
Should snacks have their own protein anchor?
Add a fifteen to twenty-five gram snack anchor only if meals leave a gap longer than five hours or post-training needs extra. Otherwise snacks become unlogged grazing.
