What weight-loss eating actually looks like.
Four ways to split the same calories
People divide eating into a handful of basic strategies. FastNow uses four — the same four as in the app — so you can pick one that fits your goal without turning food into a research project. The calorie number still comes from your plan. The strategy only changes how those calories split across carbs, protein and fat.
Low Carb
Low Carb is the app default because it is the usual fat-loss split: enough protein, enough fat to stay full, carbohydrates low enough that they stop running the day. Same calorie number as any other strategy.
This usually fits if You are cutting, you want fewer starches, and you still want a diet you can live on.
