If you're feeling stuck with your training, overwhelmed by conflicting data from your wearable, or worried about regaining weight after a big cut, in today's bonus Q&A you'll get the answers you're looking for.

Philip answers 3 questions about optimizing nutrition to combat overtraining, using the right food logging tools (it's not just about tracking), why Apple Watch and other wearables are terribly inaccurate for calories burned, and how to avoid binging after a cut when you're back at maintenance.

These questions were asked and answers in the (free) Wits & Weights Facebook group on a live Q&A:

1. John is dealing with overtraining and wants to know how to recover, especially with limited sleep and high stress. He’s also curious about how to adjust his nutrition for optimal recovery.
2. Kim is concerned about the discrepancy between her husband’s Apple Watch calorie burn estimates and what MacroFactor is showing, and she’s looking for clarity on which data to trust.
3. Josh is nearing the end of a big cut and is worried about post-cut binges and rapid fat gain. He’s seeking strategies to transition smoothly to maintenance and avoid regaining the weight he’s lost.
