Your body composition doesn’t get built during your training session. It’s built in the hours and days after, while your body repairs.

Training uses up the carbohydrate stored in your muscles and leaves muscle tissue that needs repairing. Skip the meal afterwards and you start your next session with less in the tank. Your strength drops, you stay sore for longer and building muscle gets harder.

Fuel to perform. Before and after training.

Within a couple of hours of finishing, eat a meal with:
Carbs to refill your energy stores
Protein to repair your muscles
Fluid to replace what you lost through sweat

How you recover today shows up in how you train tomorrow.

No matter what your goal: fat loss, muscle gain, performance. Fuel to perform.

If you need help with what this would look like for you. I’m just a message away.

You’re in a calorie deficit. You’re tracking all your food. You’re hitting your energy & macros perfectly (on paper). But the scale still isn’t moving, or worse, it’s going up.

Before you declare that your metabolism is broken or calorie deficits just don’t work for you, check your tracking accuracy first.

More often than not, the gap comes from errors in tracking. Research consistently shows people (even people in the health industry) underreport what they eat (and it’s not on purpose).

1. Not logging every bite. The taste while cooking. Finishing the kids’ leftovers. The handful of nuts on the way past the cupboard (healthy doesn’t count, right?). The extra spoonful of peanut butter straight from the jar after you’ve weighed out the serve. The oil used in cooking. The half cookie (it’s broken so it doesn’t count). The “it’s just one square” of chocolate. The sauce you never log. The large vanilla chai latte you get every morning on your way to work. Every single bite counts.

2. Using the wrong entry. Chicken thigh logged as chicken breast. Full cream milk logged as skim. A generic yoghurt when you ate a brand with twice the sugar. Pick the entry that matches what you actually ate.

3. Weighing cooked food against a raw entry. Food changes weight when it’s cooked. Rice and pasta gain weight while cooking. Meat loses weight. Different cooking techniques and foods result in different end weights. Use the raw weight (when using whole foods) and make sure the entry you choose matches.

4. Having too much trust in the food database. Many app entries are added by other users and some are simply wrong. For absolute accuracy, check the entry against the Australian Food Composition Database, a Google search on nutritional values or against the label.

5. Guessing the portion size instead of weighing. Most of us are not great at judging portions by eye, especially with foods like pasta, rice, nuts and spreads. Weighing takes the guesswork out.

Remember, tracking is a tool. It only works as well as the data you put in. Tighten these up for a couple of weeks before you change anything else.

I’m calling bulls&$t on those who say salads are boring & don’t fill you up.

Warmer days call for something fresh. This one’s sweet, salty, a little spicy. Asparagus and cucumber are both cheap right now, and you’ll find every ingredient at Aldi for a reasonable price. Most of the work is slicing and assembling, so it comes together fast.

Dress it at the last minute so it doesn’t end up sad.

To increase the carbs, protein, fibre and to make this meal even more substantial, add 125 g (half a pouch) of Imperial Grain Brown Rice and Quinoa from Aldi per serve.

Per serve with brown rice & quinoa: 417 kcal | Protein 26 g | Carbs 66 g | Fat 4 g | Fibre 8 g

What’s your go-to fresh lunch when the weather warms up?

Note: Whoever says that salad is boring just doesn’t know how to make a good salad.

Fat loss is easy, in theory.

Eat a little less energy than your body uses, keep it up over time, and the results follow. In real life it’s a different story. Which is why telling someone to move more & eat less rarely works.

You’re juggling time, stress, sleep, work, family, social events, finances, hormones, along with your environment & your relationship with food.

Every one of these makes fat loss harder, but none of them make it impossible. Finding it hard doesn’t mean you lack willpower. It means you need to find a workaround.

If you want a simple place to start, try these two things:

1. For now cut out discretionary food. That’s alcohol, takeaway, full sugar drinks, chips, chocolate, cakes, cookies, and protein bars. It’s only temporary, not part of a long term approach, but it makes a big difference in the short term to get you started.

2. Cook most of your meals at home, but use a food service if it makes life easier. Make breakfast easy. Overnight oats with berries and yoghurt. Cereal, banana and milk. Make a big colourful salad (easy prep) with roast pumpkin & protein for lunch. If dinner feels like too much, there are plenty of meal options that list the calories and macros for you. Dineamic, My Muscle Chef, Youfoodz, Core Powerfoods, Yes Chef, Health & Vitality and Fit Fast Fuel are available Australia wide and in supermarkets, or you can support SA made with Fit Chef and The Family Cook. Use a service that suits your taste and budget, pair it with plenty of steamed vegetables & that’s dinner done. For snacks pieces of fruit a yoghurt work well.

Small wins like these will take you further than a perfect plan you can’t keep.

This is where working with a coach helps.

Whether you’re after health & wellness, body composition goals or improved sporting performance, we work through your barriers together & build an approach that fits your life so you can reach your goals.

Your circle of friends matters as success is influenced by who you surround yourself with.

You may have heard the saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It isn’t exact science, but research does show that the habits of the people closest to us tend to rub off. And it’s why some people don’t want you to change.

Ever started a fat loss journey and had friends tell you “you look great how you are!” or “you don’t need to lose any weight”? Or had someone get annoyed when you choose not to drink at a social event? Or make a stupid comment like “I guess you’re going to order the chicken salad” when you’re out for lunch? We’ve all experienced this.

These comments say more about the person making them than they do about you.

Most of the time they feel guilty because you’re making a change and they don’t want to put in the effort themselves. Your body, your choice. Don’t let anyone talk you out of the change you want to make.

Surround yourself with people who embrace your goal. A supportive group or person who can help keep you on track. And don’t listen to the dumpster fire of bu****it you might get from those who don’t want you to change.

Simply say ‘thank you’ and leave it there. You don’t need to justify your reasons or what’s on your plate to anyone. Don’t let them sabotage your progress or pull you away from your goals.

Its going to be tough sometimes. For a while it might even feel a bit lonely. Most of us feel this way at the start. It usually means you’re growing.

A client said to me the other day, “I always feel like I’m on a diet.” When I asked her what she meant by that, she replied, “I can’t eat everything that I want to.”

If you’ve said this too, take a moment to have a think about what this means for you & why you feel that way.

Eating healthy isn’t about going without. It’s about fuelling your body so you have energy to work, train and enjoy your life. That’s not a diet. That’s a lifestyle.

Your meals should be satisfying, tasty & nutritious. If they’re bland or leave you hungry, of course it feels like a diet. A good sauce, roasted vegetables and fresh herbs can turn the same ingredients into a meal you look forward to.

Discretionary foods still have a place. Just occasionally, not every meal. Restaurant and takeaway meals still have their place, just not multiple times per week.

Ask yourself:
Are my meals filling me up?
Do I enjoy what I’m eating?
How often am I already having the foods I say I can’t have?

So when you say you feel like you’re on a diet, what does that mean for you?

With only a couple of things to chop, and with all the ingredients from Aldi, this makes this recipe cost effective, easy, tasty. It’s also highly changeable depending on your taste.

Building muscle needs extra energy.

To grow, you need to eat a bit more than your body uses. That small surplus fuels training and muscle repair. Some of it will also be stored as fat. This is normal and expected.

A lean bulk keeps the surplus small, so fat gain stays small too. That DOES NOT make it ZERO fat gain.

The shredded look you see on stage is only held for a very short time. It takes weeks or months of dieting to get there. Energy, mood, sleep and training performance often suffer at that level.

I see this in endurance athletes that don’t take any time off. They want to build muscle so they can perform better, but they are scared to gain body fat, so they keep calories low to the detriment of any muscle gain. Sorry but low calories + training like a maniac = no muscle gain + more injuries + fu**ed hormones + poor sleep + poor performance.

Muscle takes time to build. Much slower than most people expect or want. If you are scared of any fat gain at all, you can end up under eating, resulting in no muscle gain.

So what does a good lean bulk look like?

A small, controlled surplus. Enough protein spread across the day. Consistent, progressive training. Not over training. Prioritising rest and recovery. Tracking your body composition over time, and not making panic decisions just because your body prioritises body fat over muscle for a while.

Gaining some fat is part of the process, especially if you have denied your body fuel and trained like a maniac without the rest & recovery to support it. Lean into the discomfort. It is just for a short time, usually 6 to 12 months. Then a well planned cut afterwards helps reveal the muscle you have built.

If you want help planning your lean bulk and the mental shift it takes to push you through it, I’m just a message away.
