#265: How & When To Adjust Your Diet

3D Muscle Journey

Brian, Steve, and Alberto discuss when and what criteria need to be met to make a dietary adjustment. When do the coaches adjust an athlete/client’s plan and when do they have them hold steady? What types of adjustments to the coaches typically make? What can you focus on and how can you stay motivated when your weight/the scale is not a good indicator of progress? How big of an adjustment do the coaches typically make when they decrease someone’s calorie intake? When the coaches decrease someone’s calorie intake, do they decrease their fat intake, carbohydrate intake, and/or protein intake? How do the coaches go about making adjustments in a lean-gaining phase? What do they have an athlete do when they gain weight a little too quickly? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
