High Calorie, High Protein Diet

High Calorie, High Protein Diet

Designed for those with exceptional energy expenditure, the High Calorie, High Protein Diet delivers 3,000 to 3,200 calories and up to 206 grams of protein daily to maximize muscle synthesis and recovery. We have tailored this plan to be strictly gluten-free and soy-free, allowing you to fuel your body intensely without compromising your dietary restrictions. This nutritional strategy is particularly beneficial for supporting the biological pathways highlighted in your PlexusDx report, such as the rapid energy production cycles governed by the CKM and GATM genes, and the muscle recovery and inflammatory responses modulated by IL6, IGF2, and ACTN3.

The foundation of this diet rests on four evidence-based pillars designed to optimize physical performance and health: prioritizing complete proteins for tissue repair, incorporating omega-3 fatty acids to manage inflammation, selecting low-glycemic carbohydrates for sustained energy, and integrating gut-supporting foods. By focusing on nutrient density rather than just caloric volume, this protocol ensures your body has the specific building blocks needed to build lean mass and maintain stamina under stress.

• High-Quality Protein: Consuming up to 206g daily from sources like chicken, salmon, eggs, and quinoa supports muscle hypertrophy and helps balance blood sugar.
• Omega-3 Fats: Foods like salmon, tuna, nuts, and seeds provide EPA and DHA to reduce inflammation and support immune and cognitive function.
• Low Glycemic Foods: Fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains help stabilize insulin levels and provide a steady release of energy throughout the day.
• Prebiotics & Probiotics: Nutrient-dense options like yogurt with fruit help restore gut microbiota balance that can be impacted by physical stress and illness.
