FUEL THE MACHINE: MEAL PREP PROTOCOL
Precision nutrition. Overfeeding leads to obesity; underfeeding kills performance. Follow this protocol.
THE PROTOCOL
- 🔴 ADULT MAINTENANCE (The Standard)
- Feed 2% to 3% of their ideal adult body weight. 2.5% is the sweet spot for a standard active dog.
- 🔴 WORKING & HIGH DRIVE
- Active protection dogs or high-energy power breeds need 3% to 4% to maintain muscle mass.
- 🔴 PUPPY GROWTH
- Growing power breeds need serious fuel. Feed 5% to 8% of their current body weight, adjusting as they grow to prevent knuckling or joint issues.
⚠️ THE 80/10/10 RULE: A balanced raw diet is typically 80% Muscle Meat, 10% Edible Bone, and 10% Secreting Organs (like liver).
