What makes EvolveAI Unique?

EvolveAI is unique because it is not based on a single coaching style. Rather, we believe that everyone should make the choice to have a choice. We are a company of choices that empowers the user to make the best training decisions to dial in their own training. Our job is to ensure that all of these potential options are good ones: training programs founded on coaching best-practices, validated in scientific literature, and tested by elite athletes - all with the guidance of the world’s most advanced strength training A.I.

To accomplish this, we follow a tiered base of knowledge that guides our artificial intelligence’s evolution. This tiered approach can be seen as a pyramid and Venn Diagram.

Figure 1. EvolveAI’s tiered base of knowledge

We build our base on principles (level 1), learn from the best coaches (level 2), validate as much as we can through research (level 3), verify by testing with the best athletes (level 4), and empower our users (level 5). By doing this, we draw together a community of voices to create something where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Nutrition Scientific Support

Thermic Effect of Food
3% to 10% of total caloric expenditure (Reed & Hill, 1996)
0 to 3% for FAT, 5 to 10% for CHO, and 20 to 30% for PRO (Tappy, 1996)

Protein
Dietary reference intake (DRI) is 0.8 g/kg or 0.36 g/lb for sedentary individuals (Potgieter, 2013)
ACSM, ISSN, and IOC consensus recommends 1.2 to 2.0 g/kg (Potgieter, 2013)
IOC recommends 1.8 to 2.7 g/kg when cutting (Phillips & Van Loon, 2011)
No evidence of kidney failure or liver toxicity in high PRO diets (Manninen, 2004)
Morton et al. meta-analysis recommends 1.6 g/kg but CI extends to 2.2 g/kg (Morton et al., 2018)
Wirth et al. meta-analysis confirms beneficial effects of PRO ingestion on LBM is independent of timing. Suggests effects on strength less clear (Wirth et al., 2020)
Tagawa et al. meta-analysis on total protein intake finds that intake of 1.3 g/kg sufficient for non-RT individuals, suggest as high as 3g/kg for RT individuals (Tagawa et al., 2021)

Carbohydrate
Strength: long-term CHO intake unlikely to impact strength training performance compared to normal fed state (Henselmans et al., 2022)
Low-CHO & Fat loss: LC better than LF for weight loss, but no sig diff in LBM changes or health measures (Yang et al., 2022)
High CHO intake not related to increased obesity risk (Sartorius et al., 2018)

CHO vs FAT ratios
Weight loss comparison: no meaningful difference in weight loss retention after 6-12 months of LF, LC, or balanced diet, however LC diets resulted in greatest weight loss immediately post-diet, though similar to LF. LF diets had greatest long-term effect due to better weight loss retention (Johnston et al., 2014)
