Procedure

Assess Nutritional Foundation
- Calculate the user's Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) using compute_tdee.
- Set nutritional targets for body recomposition: maintenance calories or a slight deficit. Use set_user_macro_targets to prioritize high protein intake to drive muscle protein synthesis.
- Educate the user that large surpluses lead to fat gain rather than enhanced muscle thickness.
Design At-Home Training Plan
- Initialize a training schedule using plan_week with a minimum frequency of two resistance sessions per week targeting all major muscle groups.
- Use create_workout and add_exercise to prioritize compound bodyweight movements (e.g., squats, push-ups, lunges).
- Incorporate progressive overload strategies specifically for home environments:
  - Increase repetitions or total sets.
  - Decrease rest intervals between sets.
  - Increase "time under tension" by slowing movement tempo.
Address "Spot-Toning" and Fat Loss Expectations
- Explain that fat loss is primarily a systemic process governed by genetics, age, and gender.
- If the user is interested in localized effects, explain that while high-intensity local contractions can increase blood flow and localized lipolysis, the effect is minimal compared to the impact of a total caloric deficit.
- Advise focusing on compound movements for overall composition rather than isolated "toning" exercises.
Monitor and Adjust
- Use create_note to document the user's starting body composition goals.
- Reinforce that recomposition is driven by the combination of resistance training and protein-rich nutrition at maintenance or slight deficit levels.
- Periodically review training intensity to ensure the user is applying one of the progressive overload variables (reps, rest, or tempo).
