I always thought eating more = getting fat...

There is a concept that I have wired into my brain to know how to calculate, progress & monitor that I have had issues explaining as it's one of those concepts that I just know & feel. However, I want to give an example of a recent clients journey that directly demonstrates this in practice so it can be understood.

.

T started coaching under FSC with the initial goal of increasing muscle, decreasing body fat, essentially a change in her body composition along with many other lifestyle, educational, & self-developmental goals too. One of my main focuses with T was to progress her energy balance without the result of drastic body composition change in either direction... rather a slow weekly progressive change moving towards her physical goals. Here is the work that has been done over the last few weeks & I want you to note the differences in caloric intake, movement & then her physical photos.

.

WEEK1:

Bodyweight: 59.5kg

Calories: 900-1300 daily avg

Cardio: None

Steps: 7k daily avg

.

CURRENT:

Bodyweight: 58.9kg

Calories: 1800-1900 daily avg

Cardio: 100mins

Steps: 10.5k daily avg

.

CHANGE:

Bodyweight: DOWN 600g

Calories: UP 600-900 daily

So yes, eating more does not make you fat, it actually fuels your body correctly, allows you to feel more energised, recovers better & honestly change the WHOLE way you look & feel.
