Building muscle questions
How much protein do I need to build muscle?
On the build muscle goal Imi sets 1.8 g per kg of body weight a day, in line with research on strength training, and splits it across your meals so each one does some work.

Do I need to bulk?
A small surplus is enough. Imi adds calories above maintenance but caps it at 15%, so you're not eating far past what you use.
Can I build muscle while losing fat?
Pick lose weight as your goal and add the more protein focus. Imi keeps protein at 1.2–1.6 g per kg and puts some into every meal.
I can't eat that much protein.
Ask Imi to make any recipe higher in protein, or to plan protein-dense breakfasts for the week. Food works; shakes are optional.
Does Imi plan my workouts?
No. Imi plans food. It reads your workouts from Apple Health to count your strength days.
