If you are someone who is tracking their calories, perhaps for fat loss, then there is a good chance you are leaving some results on the table by making 1 or more common food-tracking app mistakes.
Whether you are using MFP or Cronometer or something else, these mistakes are universal and are more common than you may think.
They can directly impact the accuracy at which you keep to your calorie deficit (or whatever calorie strategy and goal you have), and can leave you wondering why is the system not working better.
In this episode, I share with you the 3 food tracking app mistakes that you should stop doing today.

Understanding nutrition strategy is not just about knowing what to do to achieve xyz.
It also requires you to have a grasp on how goal prioritisation and nutrition strategy are interlinked. Understanding how focusing on 1 means that you can not optimise fully for all.
People's goals usually fall into 3 categories when it comes to leveraging nutrition. One of these has 3 clear distinct focuses too.
When you focus on one goal, others will not feel the touch of optimisation to the same degree. This is facts and this is normal.
So what does this all mean? How does all this matter for you?
In this episode, I explain the 2 Triangles Framework that I teach to clients when helping them understand how to approach goals through intentional nutrition strategy.

As an athlete (or gym goer), rehab is either something you have done or you will inevitably encounter in some form or fashion or degree in your life.
Injuries happen - big and small, short and long, insignificant and lifechanging. No matter the situation, if you get a setback then you will have to rehab in some way.
I have personally worked with several clients who are going through injury or coming back from one, and I help them navigate the nutrition equation so that we set them up for the best return and success.
So is nutrition truly important during rehab?
What are the implications of just coasting through it and not adjusting your program?
In this episode, we explore rehab and nutrition - the relationship and whether or not your diet requires strategic thinking during your “bounce back” era.

“Is it ok if I still have a cheat meal? Will that affect my results?”
This is a common question and one that I recently got asked by a new client again.
Cheat meals seem to be forever connected to the nutrition space, a way for one to unshackle the constraints of dieting and enjoy moments among the gruelling efforts to lose weight.
However, is this possible? Can cheat meals co-exist with fat loss aspirations or are you barking up the wrong tree and setting yourself back…
In this episode, I give you my take on cheat meals, if they can be used effectively, and how they can impact your results depending on how you go about them.
Let’s see if indulgence can meet strategy!

There is a general belief that doing things that result in more fat burning is automatically the answer to fat loss woes and struggling weight loss goals.
However, this is not an exact science. It does not necessarily mean it is true in a given situation.
While we interchangeably like to use fat burning and fat loss, there are specific scenarios in which this can get confused and lead to incorrect strategy and poor thinking around fat loss planning.
In this episode, I explore the difference between fat burning and tangible fat loss. Using key examples from my experience as a Dietitian and the most common scenarios in which this creates misinformation, I will explain how they are different and what you should be focusing on instead.

Books can be sources of inspiration, advice, and direction that one needs to help add fuel to one's pursuit of goals and achievement.
They can be the additional tool one uses to address limitations and/or obstacles getting in your way or simply a way to change your perspective to help move you further along any journey you may be on.
When working on your nutrition and fitness aspirations, certain books can help provide information and tools that can assist you in overcoming setbacks or even provide a catalyst to boost you closer to your goals.
So as a fellow book reader and as someone who has realised the value self-development can have, I have gained insight into some books that have personally helped me but also have become staples that I recommend to people wanting to leverage more from their nutrition.
What recommendations do I have for you?
In this episode, I share 3 book recommendations I personally would recommend you read if you are someone looking to achieve some big goals in your health, nutrition, and fitness. These books address 3 different areas that can limit your potential when trying to reach your peak.

Dirty bulking…what is it good for? Absolutely nothing (for 97.7564% of people)
When people try to build muscle, most want it now and want it quickly. Impatience…the gyms are rife with it.
Due to the general idea and perception that to build quality muscle mass you need to eat a lot to get better and faster gains, more and more athletes and gym goers are jumping on the bandwagon of the “dirty bulking phase”.
In other words, eat anything and everything in larger than life quantities in the bid to maximise the muscle growth potential and put on as much mass as quickly as possible.
This is a silly way to go about it for the vast majority of muscle seekers! I am here to explain why.
In this episode, I explain why you should avoid dirty bulking if you truly care about your body composition goals and want to actual make things easier on yourself.
