232. Real Life Q+A: Meal Timing, Measuring Progress, Progressive Overload, and How to “Do It All”


Listen Later

In this Q&A episode, I’m answering some of the most common questions I get inside the Unf*ck Your Fitness community - and as usual,  I’m giving you simple, repeatable answers you can actually apply immediately.


We’re talking about what to look at besides the scale, how to fuel around workouts without overcomplicating it, how to know whether it’s time to cut or stay at maintenance, and what progressive overload actually means (hint: it’s not just “lift heavier every week”).


We’ll also get into the real-life side of consistency - what to do when you’re exhausted and juggling everything - plus a clear breakdown of protein per meal and how to know if you are ready to lift heavier so you can train smarter and get better results.


If you take anything from this episode, let it be this: your plan has to match your season… and consistency gets a whole lot easier when the plan is realistic.


Episode recap:

  • My favorite ways to measure progress other than the scale
  • How to choose what to eat before and after a workout based on your needs
  • How to know when to lift heavier
  • My thoughts on how to “do it all” AND be healthy
  • Deciding on a cut vs. maintenance based on body readiness
  • The myth of protein limits per meal and optimal protein timing
