4 things that got me to my protein goal (none of them are a shake)

all those lunches typed in gram by gram and i only just found this

  • The first-time tracker
  • The protein counter
  • The GLP-1 starter
  • The desk-lunch regular

Who it’s for.

The people your nutrition posts are written for, one persona at a time.

  • The first-time tracker

    Wants one number to aim for, hates typing every meal in, trusts phone-shot food from people like her.

  • The protein counter

    Lifts, tracks macros to build or cut, and saves any snack list with the protein printed next to it.

  • The GLP-1 starter

    On a weight-loss medication this year, watching protein and portions, with everyday questions nobody answers.

  • The desk-lunch regular

    Eats at a laptop or a chain most days and searches the best thing to order before the queue moves.

  • The label reader

    Stands in the aisle turning packets over, checking what's actually in the thing that says healthy.

How it works here.

Strategy, content, distribution and routines, set up for nutrition.

  1. 01

    Strategy

    Finds who's counting, and why

    Audience research reads Reddit, reviews, competitor pages and viral comments to find people like the protein counter or the GLP-1 starter. Each persona carries dated evidence and a quote it actually read.

  2. 02

    Content

    Snack lists, not before-and-afters

    Every carousel is for one persona and one stage: a notes-app snack list, a salad that wasn't, a paper food log. Carousels only state your product truths, so no weight-loss promise slips in.

  3. 03

    Distribution

    Posted where food people scroll

    Publishes straight to your TikTok and Instagram accounts at each one's next free slot, on one calendar. Warmed accounts have weeks of real time in food and gym feeds, so first posts reach real people.

  4. 04

    Routines

    A grocery-haul run every sunday

    Set a routine per account from a prompt you write, like 'remix this week's viral hauls for the protein counter'. Drafts queue for your swipe. Nothing posts until you approve it.

Why do people quit tracking calories in the first few weeks?

New trackers quit over the typing, not the target. Logging every meal wears them out.

    screenshots every high-protein person needs before a gas station stop >>>

    Snack lists with calories and protein are the niche's biggest pillar. Useful without any app, so they get saved.

  • Countdown to #1L1 · Top of funnel

    every desk lunch i packed this month, ranked by how fast i was hungry again

    Desk lunches are a recurring setting. Counting down holds the best one for last and it stays affectionate.

  • Unfinished sentenceL1 · Top of funnel

    "one more handful won’t coun-"

    Everyone has said it. The next slide interrupts with the dressing, the croutons and the fries.

    Playbook · Cut-off quote

Show the honest maths of eating, so tracking feels like curiosity, not punishment.

  • POV storytimeL2 · Middle of funnel

    pov: you can't cook, but eggs and a rice cooker carried the whole week

    Answers the 'i can't cook' objection with a real kitchen. The 'but' is what keeps a POV from sinking.

  • Paper notesL2 · Middle of funnel

    lunches i thought were 'light' until i actually wrote them down

    A handwritten food log feels personal, not clinical. Each flip is one real lunch.

  • Tweet screenshotsL2 · Middle of funnel

    nobody warns you the hardest part of tracking isn't eating less, it's typing in a homemade lasagna

    Typing is the pain the AI photo counters were built on. Confessional, not a lecture.

    Playbook · Long grievance text

Answer the question every tracker asks: how do i log this without the effort?

  • iMessage conversationL3 · Bottom of funnel

    "how do you even log a burrito bowl?" (my sister, every single time)

    A mixed bowl is the meal people give up logging. The thread answers it, and the app closes the last slide.

  • Photo dumpL4 · Bottom of funnel

    i didn't think one photo of my plate could get me the protein, but here we are

    The scan reveal is the niche's own pillar. Kept experiential: the photo, the number, no body claim.

FAQ

No. Carousels can only state your product truths, and never-words are enforced, so add 'lose 10 pounds' to the avoid list and it stays out. Posts use food, kitchens and hands, never before-and-after bodies.

It can find GLP-1 starters as a persona, with real quotes behind them. Keep posts to protein, portions and everyday questions, and you approve every one.

No. Photos come from your own library first, then stock, and you can swap any slide in the studio. Your real plates help: the messy lunch looks more like a person than a styled bowl.

Yes. Every carousel is for one persona and one funnel stage, and you can tweak any slide in the studio before you approve it, including taking your app off a Get found list.
