# Protein Targets — Burns Recovery & Fat Loss User profile this skill was tuned for: recovering burns victim, healing well, ~95–100 kg, wants to lose ~15 kg fat while **preserving lean mass**. ## Target math - Burns recovery + lean-mass preservation during a deficit: **2 g protein per kg bodyweight per day**. - At 95–100 kg → **~190–200 g/day**. - Split across 2 main meals: aim **~90–100 g per meal**; any remainder comes from a third hit. - **Recompute whenever the user reports a new weight:** target = weight_kg × 2. Keep `diet.bodyweight_kg`, `diet.protein_per_kg`, and `diet.protein_target_g_per_day` in inventory.json in sync with that. ## Fat-loss lever - Fat loss = a MILD calorie deficit, NOT protein cutting. Bulk meals with veg; limit oven chips / white bread / added oil; lead with lean protein. ## Closing the gap (third hit) When 2 cooked meals fall short of the daily target, name one cheap, fast hit: - Whey protein shake (1 scoop ≈ 25 g) — most cost-efficient per gram; ideal staple. - Extra eggs (1 egg ≈ 13 g). - Greek yogurt 150 g (≈ 15 g) or cottage cheese / quark. - Tinned tuna (≈ 25 g) or skim milk. ## Why red meat is excluded from BUY lists User prefers to stop buying red meat (lamb / pork / beef / bacon / gammon). Red meat ALREADY in stock is still cooked and suggested so it isn't wasted — it is never re-purchased. Encode this as: usable-if-in-stock, never-re-buy.
