On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss how much protein you actually need to be eating per day if your goal is to lose fat and lean out. When it comes to protein, unfortunately much of the advice online makes you think that you need to eat like a bodybuilder to get fit – when that's the farthest from the truth. Instead, today's episode is going to walk you through three simple approaches to figuring out how much protein you actually should be eating per day, whether or not you want to track your calories or macros. You'll walk away knowing how to set a protein goal that's realistic for your lifestyle, feels workable even if you're busy, and actually sets you up for lasting fat loss based on science. Plus I'm also sharing the one benchmark that puts you ahead of 90% of dieters and address why protein is important… but if you don't also address this one thing it could hold you back from results.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss how to approach losing body fat without having to give up your social life, going out to eat and enjoying food. Many women when on a diet program intentionally trying to lose body fat get anxious when they have meals out or events that can have tempting food options. While it's important to eat at home – it isn't realistic to think that you'll never go out to eat… even when you're trying to get fit and lose weight. That's why today's episode is here to help you with your mindset, and your macros. I'm breaking down how to stay on track when out to eat with simple strategies and a proven approach that will decrease your stress and anxiety in these situations. I also discuss cheat meals, when to know it's worth it to indulge and other strategies you can begin to implement so you strike the perfect balance of enjoying yourself without over-doing it. By the end of the episode you'll ditch food anxiety, learn to call a meal “fun” without derailing your results, and walk away confident that you can enjoy life and keep making progress.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss two ways to approach calculating your calories for fat loss regardless of if you want to track your food intake. Determining your target calorie deficit is an important core step towards your journey to losing body fat because without context into how much you should be eating, it's very challenging (if not impossible) to determine the daily food plan you should be following. For this reason, I'll be sharing two methods I use with clients to help you determine how much you should be eating for results. The first method is rooted in science and numbers, while the other method is less invasive into your lifestyle and instead uses how you currently eat in your real-life to help guide how to get into a calorie deficit. By the end you'll leave this episode with knowledge on how to determine how much you should be eating and how to apply this information to your daily life to begin seeing fat loss on both your body – and the scale.

Welcome to the Mini Cut Series! In Part 4 of our series, I'm breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions around mini cuts: YOUR RESULTS.

That's why today's episode is addressing exactly how a fat loss mini cut will produce progress despite these pushes only being 7 days at a time.

In today's solo episode, I'm answering a powerful question from listener Stephanie about a challenge many women face on their fitness journey: what to do when medication suppresses your appetite and you're not eating enough — especially when you're trying to maintain or build muscle. Whether you're taking ADHD medication, weight loss meds, or anything else that impacts your hunger cues… Navigating nutrition can get tricky. And while eating less might seem like a fast track to fat loss, undereating can actually slow your metabolism and lead to unwanted muscle loss. In this episode, I'm breaking down realistic, doable strategies to help you get enough nutrition even on low-appetite days. You'll learn how to fuel your body in a way that supports your muscle and aesthetic goals, keeps your metabolism up, and works with your medication — not against your progress. If muscle tone, strength, and a healthy metabolism are on your goal list, this is one you don't want to miss.
