Calorie Calculator ProMETABOLISM · RATE OF GAIN · BODY COMPOSITION
4 Pro features

Your metabolism. Decoded.

From calories to body composition. All in one dashboard.

3D ring 0–100 with breakdown: protein ratio, RoG zone, training frequency, surplus efficiency. Plus setup analysis with concrete optimisation suggestions.

Body composition

P-Ratio projection at week 8, 16 and 24. Muscle-vs-fat split bars and 24-week progression chart with optimal corridor.

Metabolism analysis

4 rings for BMR, EAT, NEAT and TEF with percentage share. Plus an insight text that contextualises your metabolism for hardgainers.

Weekly plan + auto-cycling

Train/rest heatmap with clickable days. Automatic calorie cycling: different kcal on training and rest days.


MealPlan Generator ProMACRO TIMING · MPS · STRUCTURE · EXPORT · KCAL TRANSFER
6 Pro features

From macro timing to shopping list.

Your calorie target comes directly from the calorie calculator — automatic transfer via URL bridge, no manual input. Then to concrete meals with timing, structure and context.

MPS indicator

Shows you per meal whether your protein timing is optimised for maximum muscle protein synthesis.

Macro timing chart

Visualises the distribution of your macros throughout the day. Identifies gaps and peaks for optimal nutrient timing.

5–6 meals

Free gives you 3–4 meals. Pro scales to 5–6 — more distribution, better protein timing throughout the day.

Shopping list

Auto-generated from your meal plan. Copyable, structured, practical.

PDF export

Export your complete meal plan print-ready. All meals, macros and shopping list in one document.

Clickable insights

Each meal explains why it is structured that way. Macro logic, timing context, hardgainer relevance.

★ HighlightYour calorie target from the calorie calculator is transferred automatically — no manual input.


Workout Plan Generator ProMESOCYCLE · VOLUME · DELOAD · DASHBOARD
10 Pro features

Mesocycle. Progression. Deload. All included.

Not just a plan. A system with progression, priority and feedback.

Mesocycle planner

4–6 week cycles with automatic volume increase and planned deload. No guessing when to pull back.

Pro dashboard

4 charts: volume distribution, frequency map, SFR trends, fatigue tracking. Your training in numbers.

Automatic progression

Set-by-set increase following RIR schema. Volume rises in a controlled manner within the mesocycle.

Swap system

Swap exercises within the movement pattern. Biomechanically sound, not random.

Priority

Priority 1–3 controls your volume per muscle group. More resources for what truly lags behind.

Tolerance

Tolerance 1–5 modulates exercise selection. Joints, back, shoulders — your plan adapts.

DJ grid view

Compact daily overview of all sessions at a glance. Ideal for the planning phase.

PDF export

Printable PDF with all sessions, set schemes and RIR targets. For your gym bag or notebook.

One-click deload

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get with Hardgainer Pro?

All three tools fully unlocked: Calorie Calculator Pro with 4 Pro features (Hardgainer Score™, body composition, metabolism analysis, weekly plan + auto-cycling), MealPlan Generator Pro with 6 Pro features (MPS indicator, macro timing, 5–6 meals, shopping list, PDF export, clickable insights) and Workout Plan Generator Pro with 10 Pro features (mesocycle, dashboard, progression, swap system, priority, tolerance, DJ grid view, PDF export, one-click deload, URL bridge). The MealPlan Generator transfers your calorie target automatically from the calorie calculator.

Is this a subscription?

No. One-time payment, permanent access. No monthly subscription, no hidden costs. Pay €24 once, done.

How do I get access after purchase?

Instantly. After payment you will be redirected and can use the Pro version right away. You will also receive a confirmation email.

Do I need the free version first?

No, but it makes sense. The free tools show you the basics. Pro extends everything with the same logic, but more depth. If you already know you want full control, you can start with Pro directly.

Who is Pro for?

For hardgainers who want to go beyond basic calculations. Who want to know how efficient their setup is, how their body composition develops, and what a structured mesocycle looks like. For those serious about building mass — with data, not guesswork.


From my experience

It took me over 25 years to go from under 50 kg to 75 kg. What held me back the most was not a lack of discipline, but a lack of data. I didn't know if my surplus was enough. I didn't know if my training volume was right. I guessed instead of measured. These tools are the tools I wished I had back then.
