Adjusting Your Nutrition When Your Workouts Change


Listen Later

Have you been eating the same way for months… even though your workouts look completely different now? If you've added training days, increased intensity, switched from cardio to strength, or moved into a new phase, your nutrition needs to shift with it. In this episode, I walk you through why keeping the same macros year-round can keep you stuck and how to recognize when your body is asking for more fuel.

I break down the signs you might be under-fueling, what to adjust when your workouts increase, and how to approach different phases like building, maintenance, fat loss, and deload weeks. You'll learn how to match your nutrition to your current training so your workouts and your food actually support each other instead of working against each other.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why eating the same macros year-round can stall progress • The signs your body needs more fuel beyond just hunger • What to adjust when you add workout days or increase intensity • How to fuel differently during building, maintenance, and fat loss phases • Why under-eating during a strength phase limits your results • How to approach deload weeks without drastically cutting calories

If you want clarity on how to calculate and adjust your macros as your workouts change, check out Macro Counting Made Simple at macrocountingmadesimple.com.

And if you want your training structured in a way that naturally cycles through building, maintenance, and deload phases, head to movementwithjulie.com to get started inside the Movement With Julie app.

If this conversation helped you realize your nutrition might need to shift with your training, go listen to Why Adjusting Your Macros Matters When You Increase Your Exercise next.
