Plant-Based · Cut Protocol

The Clean-Cut Plan

~185g protein · ~58g fat budget · fiber-forward · resistant starch

The Strategy

Three levers build a leaner plant-based cut that's easier on digestion — without touching protein:

Fat down to a ~58g budgetWhere a plant-based cut quietly balloons. Hemp, oils & avocado pulled way back.
Insoluble fiber upCabbage, broccoli, lentils, flax & psyllium for bulk, fullness & smoother digestion.
Resistant starch via cook-&-coolQuinoa & sweet potato chilled overnight — gentler glycemic hit, feeds gut bacteria.
Cheat structure: 2 free meals + 1 high-carb refeed/week. Refeed is anchored to a training day (carbs partition to muscle). Free meals lean carb-heavy — classic fat-bomb cheats undo the week's fat work fastest.

Make it work

Ramp the fiber. This plan runs ~50g+ — roughly double most intakes. Add one high-fiber component every few days over ~2 weeks, or you'll just feel bloated. Drink the water — fiber without it works against you. Batch-cook quinoa & sweet potato Sunday and chill overnight so the resistant starch is ready all week.

Prices are rough US estimates. The Fiber Boosters group is the engine of the plan — psyllium & flax are what you'll ramp in slowly. Pantry items (oils, miso, tahini, spices) last weeks. Macros vary by brand, especially protein powder.
