About

Not born. It's built.

Fit Gorillas started as a social page 13 years ago and has grown into a community of over 1 million guys on Instagram and Facebook.

Built by the community

Our expertise has been built with the Fit Gorillas community. For 13 years, guys in the community have shared what works for them, asked the questions they're stuck on, and told us when something doesn't work. That feedback shapes everything we make, from the free Macro Calculator to every article on this site.

How our articles are made

Every Fit Gorillas article is built on three things:

• Community feedback. What the Fit Gorillas community tells us works for them, the questions they ask most, and where they get stuck.
• Thorough research. We base our numbers on published sports-science research, such as meta-analyses on protein intake and muscle growth, and list the main studies at the end of each article.
• Real experience. 30 years of hands-on training, bulking and cutting, so the advice works in a real kitchen and a real gym, not just on paper.

We write in plain English, show the date each article was last updated, and update articles when the evidence changes. Our articles are general information for healthy adults and aren't medical advice.
