Sorry to say… but that might be a challenge!!
We’ve covered progressive overloading your training being a key to change. But this MUST be partnered with calorie intake!
Not to get too science-y 🧬 but the simplest advice for weight loss is calories in vs calories out. If your energy expenditure is imbalanced and your “calories in” are significantly more than your “calories out”, the scales tip the wrong way. This is known as a CALORIE SURPLUS.
If your “calories out” are more than your “calories in”, the scales tip in the right direction! This is known as a CALORIE DEFICIT!
Repeat after me! CALORIE DEFICIT!
Calories in = food consumption
Calories out = exercise
BUT everybody is different. We all move throughout the day in differing patterns, we are different ages, we are different weights, some of us are males and some of us are females (obviously!). This all effects the balance of our calorie intake.
So… how do I figure out what my calorie deficit should be? 🤔 There is a formula to find this out. We’ll need to learn your age, weight, height and how frequently you exercise. The formula can accumulate a guide calorie target – though it’s important to know that it is not exact! However, if you have that target calorie deficit factored into your day-to-day eating habits, you will notice a difference!
And that’s what we are here to do! We can offer you this guidance, as well provide you with a more detailed understanding of nutrition. This includes the right micronutrients to help balance your diet out. We’ll provide a post soon about what a micronutrient is and how getting this balance right can help with your progress – stay tuned!
Either way, we’d love to help! And I assure you you’ll get the advice you need! So please get in touch via our website or email robbie@bodybalancetraining.co.uk
