MyProtocol distills 40+ peer-reviewed studies on nutrition, metabolism, GLP-1 pharmacology, and longevity into the rules your meals get scored against.
The articles below show how those rules got there — what the evidence says, where it is contested, and how it translates to your plate. We update this when better evidence lands.
Why Calories Are a Range, Not a Target
