Deep dives

Connecting with clients and navigating calorie intake

One of the main challenges for nutrition coaches is connecting with clients who have tried multiple diets and are often afraid to consume more than 800 to 1,000 calories. This poses a dilemma when it comes to advising clients on achieving an adequate calorie intake. While textbooks may suggest a specific calorie goal, it is important for coaches to navigate individual preferences and build trust. This involves understanding the client's goals, which often include both fat loss and increased strength and performance. Balancing these goals can be challenging, as it is difficult for an individual to be in a caloric deficit and surplus simultaneously. Nutrition coaches need to tailor their approach to address these complexities and help clients make sustainable progress.
