May 13How Coaches Spot Under Fueling and Dehydration in Just 5 Minutes
Practical, non‑prescriptive tools to boost session quality and retention.
If clients are tired, flat or inconsistent, the fix rarely starts with motivation or a new training plan — it starts with energy, recovery and simple fueling habits.
In this episode Tiffany Mika walks coaches through the 5‑Minute Client Fueling Assessment, a quick diagnostic that reveals under‑fueling, dehydration and blood‑sugar instability without prescribing meals.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
Why short assessments build trust and remove guesswork.
Exactly how to invite clients to complete the 5‑Minute Client Fueling Assessment and what to say.
How to interpret results quickly and choose one measurable habit to test for seven days.

A competition checklist that rehearses pre‑event top‑ups without meal prescriptions.
You’ll get exact language to introduce the tool, a red/yellow/green scoring system to prioritise actions, ready‑to‑send scripts for each zone, and a step‑by‑step 7‑day micro‑trial workflow you can use with any client.
Key Takeaways & Core message:
Energy and recovery are the foundation of training quality and client consistency.
Three common causes of low energy: under‑fueling, dehydration, blood‑sugar swings.
Three quick coach actions: add a protein presence; set a hydration cue; introduce a protein + fibre top‑up.
3‑question check: ask Energy, Recovery, Eating Consistency (0–10). If any score ≤ 6, run a 7‑day micro‑trial.
Red/Yellow/Green scoring speeds decision making: red = stabilise now; yellow = tighten basics; green = test performance tweaks.
Action Steps for Your Next Session
Use the 3‑question check with one client this week.
Send the 5‑Minute Client Fueling Assessment and score red/yellow/green.
