    • How much protein you should get daily.
    • How to tell if you're truly hitting your protein needs.

  • 64. How to ACTUALLY Track Progress With Fat Loss (and stop sabotaging yourself)

    Most people only track progress by the scale β€” and then freak out when it doesn't move. But fat loss isn't linear, daily fluctuations are normal, and the scale is just one tiny piece of the puzzle.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down:

    • What realistic fat loss looks like
    • Why losing too fast leads to muscle loss + slower metabolism
    • The 5 ways to track progress that actually matter
    • A client story that proves how important it is to zoom out
    • How to stay consistent even when the scale is acting chaotic

    If you're starting fresh this January and you want to avoid the classic "I'm not losing fast enough" spiral β€” this episode will be a game-changer.
