I haven't tried the tool they advertise, but I imagine that people trying to bulk up might benefit from a diet of low satiety per calorie that maximizes protein intake. This would also be useful for people struggling with appetite due to illness. Not everyone worried about their diet is trying to lose weight. I wonder if they provide that?

Why maximize protein intake? Protein benefits cap out at a certain level that is far below maximal, especially when "bulking".

Egg whites give you insane amount of proteins per very low amount of calories.

Discovered this recently and I like egg white way more than chicken breast.

My lunch salad is 150g of chicken thigh, 200g of egg white, 1 whole egg, 2 tomatoes, 1 romaine heart and 50g of cottage cheese (unfortunately I cannot eat greek yogurt). For topping I add some low calories pickled cucumber and 0 calories mustard.

Very filling even at 400 calories (very low). With 2 meals like that I get close to my protein goal per day.
