Since the 22-day review flagged the Indian-dinner protein trap as the single biggest open issue, there have been two dosa-dinner days (Jul 1 and Jul 3) and both have cleared the protein floor comfortably — 124g and 125g respectively — using the same mechanism both times: a dedicated protein slot (a shake plus a bar) treated as its own meal, not an afterthought. That's no longer a lucky exception; that's a repeatable pattern.

Updated running averages (21 logged days across Phase 1): ~2,437 kcal average (a modest, appropriate surplus for lean muscle building), ~132g average protein (comfortably in range), ~90g average fat (down from 93g at the 22-day mark — genuine improvement, not just an under-eating artifact), and ~2.40L average water (holding steady, still short of the 3.0L target).

With the Day 28 halfway-point DEXA check-in just 3 days away, the picture heading into it is a good one: the two structural problems identified earlier in the phase — fat stacking and the Indian-dinner protein gap — both show real, repeated evidence of improvement in the most recent data, not just isolated good days.
