THE FORJIUM METHOD

Training and nutrition with clear principles.

Personalisation starts with your goals, experience, time, equipment, preferences and restrictions. The coach interprets your request and app rules check supported actions before changes appear in the plan.

From 500 to 800 kcal: what is calculated

When scaling an entire recipe, the factor is 800 ÷ 500 = 1.6. A 100 g ingredient becomes 160 g before rounding. Calories and macros are then recalculated from the resulting amounts. Replacing an ingredient also changes its nutritional composition.

The energy target is an estimate reviewed through tracking. Brand, preparation, raw or cooked weight and food-composition data affect the result. A consistent calculation does not mean knowing your body’s needs exactly.

Changing a day means reviewing the week

Moving a workout may affect neighbouring sessions. The review considers completed days, planned muscle loading, other sports and recorded availability. Missing data and unresolved conflicts should be communicated.

Conservative rest margins are operating rules, not a recovery guarantee or universal medical interval. Fatigue, pain and personal progress may require changes or professional assessment.

Scope and limitations

Forjium is intended for adults who are starting or already training. Evidence in healthy adults does not automatically apply to a medical condition. Some conditions may block plan generation or require healthcare clearance and follow-up. The app does not diagnose or replace an in-person trainer, dietitian or clinical team when supervision is needed.

PRINCIPLES WITH SOURCES

Evidence informs the plan. Your context guides the adjustment.

These principles inform the engine design. App rules are implementation decisions: they are not clinical validation of the product and do not guarantee individual results.

Frequency distributes the work

With weekly volume equated, higher frequency showed no meaningful hypertrophy advantage in this meta-analysis. Frequency is adapted to your plan and availability.

There is more than one way to progress

A review in healthy adults found benefits across different resistance-training prescriptions. Loads, sets and frequency depend on goals and context, without a universal formula.

Protein is considered in context

Evidence on protein and resistance training helps inform targets in healthy adults. It does not make one number suitable for every medical condition.

Nutrients start with food data

Food-composition tables express nutrients per amount of food. Servings are calculated from ingredients, accounting for weights and preparation; actual values can vary.
