If fat loss is your goal, you've probably heard you need to be in a calorie deficit, but you might still have questions about how to practically achieve this.
In this episode, I walk you through the exact framework I use with my clients to set up a calorie deficit in a strategic, sustainable way.
We cover:
What a calorie deficit really means
How to estimate your maintenance calories
How big your calorie deficit should be?
How to set a protein target to support muscle
How to structure meals and snacks
How to monitor progress
Why you need a maintenance plan and exit strategy
If you'd rather not calculate and adjust all of this yourself, the Balanced Body Reset gives you a structure to stick to, support from daily voice notes and a very welcoming community of women with similar goals.
Or if you'd like all of this done for you with personalised guidance every step of the way, please send me a DM on instagram @nutrition.by.helena to discuss 1:1 coaching.
