Stop dieting like it’s 2012.

It honestly blows my mind that in 2026 people are still trying to lose weight by skipping meals and cutting carbs like they’re the problem.

A better approach? Consistent meals, enough protein, carbs around training, and habits you can repeat.

If this is you (or you’ve been considering it) DM me “FUEL” and I’ll tell you what to do instead 😊

This client’s story isn’t a one-off.

I work with women like this all the time - they’re training hard, doing all the “right” things, jumping from challenge to challenge, cutting calories, trying to be disciplined… but still feeling stuck, flat, and frustrated because their nutrition isn’t actually supporting their body or their training.

And usually, the answer isn’t more restriction, instead it’s a more personalised approach.

That’s exactly what we focus on inside the Everyday Athlete Program - building a nutrition plan around you, your training, your goals, and your real life, so you can actually see results and feel better.

If you’re over the guesswork and ready for a plan that actually fits, send me FUEL and I’ll send you the details 🤍

For the last 7 years as a sports dietitian, I tend to see a lot of the same patterns with clients who are not eating enough.

The tricky part is that a lot of people struggle with these signs for YEARS and either just struggle through it, or never realise that the root cause is that they’re unintentionally underfuelled.
 Because underfuelling doesn’t just affect your training, it affects your entire life:

❌ you wake up tired (even after a full night in bed)
❌ you’re sore for days and recovery drags
❌ your workouts feel flat and performance stalls
❌ your mood is fragile and you feel “snappy”
❌ cravings hit hard at night and hunger feels chaotic
❌ you can’t focus, and everything feels harder than it should

This is exactly what we fix inside The Everyday Athlete Program.

It’s not a cookie cutter or generic meal plan, it’s a personalised strategy that improves your energy, performance, recovery, and consistency - so you feel like yourself again and start getting results.

If this carousel felt a little too familiar, just know that it doesn’t need to be this way - book a free discovery call via the link in bio, or DM me “FUEL” and I’ll send you the details.

If you’ve ever worked with me, you’ll know I put a huge emphasis on your relationship with food.

Because I truly believe that how you think and feel about food is just as important as how many calories you consume, and in many cases, it’s more important than hitting macros, chasing a certain body fat %, or “being perfect” with your plan.

Your calories and targets can change… but your relationship with food is something you live with for life.

That’s why my approach will always be: build a calm, confident relationship with food and your body first, and then we focus on performance, body composition, and results from a place that actually feels sustainable.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your head around food, you’re not alone - my DMs are always open 💚

If you’ve been taught that 1200-1600 calories is “normal” … of course 2000+ sounds outrageous.

But here’s what’s actually outrageous: expecting your body to train hard, build strength, recover well and function optimally on intake that barely covers basic survival needs

Your body burns energy before you even step foot in the gym. Breathing. Thinking. Hormones. Organ function. Temperature regulation.

That baseline requirement alone (your BMR) often sits around 1,300+ for women and 1,700+ for men, and that’s before we add training sessions, 8-10k steps, work stress, digestion, or muscle mass.

So when I tell female clients their intake should be over 2,000 calories to support their goals, the initial reaction is usually disbelief, because diet culture has normalised under eating for so long that “adequate” feels excessive.

Fitness apps, generic calculators, influencer advice, they’ve distorted what fuelling properly actually looks like.

There isn’t a universal “right” number of calories - your needs are based on your body, your muscle mass, your training load, your lifestyle.

If your calorie target feels higher than expected, that doesn’t mean you’re overeating, sometimes it is the best thing you can do is ensuring you’re eating enough to train hard, recover properly, and feel strong.

If you train first thing in the morning and your “pre-workout” is basically just coffee, this one’s for you ☕️

After fasting overnight, going straight into training with no fuel is like starting your session with an empty tank, and it’s a big reason so many early morning sessions feel flat, heavy, or harder than they need to.

The good news is you don’t need a full breakfast at 5:30am to fix it. Even a small carb-rich snack (around 20- 40g carbs) can make a huge difference to your energy, performance, and how you feel mid-session.

If you’re time-poor or your stomach isn’t ready for “real food” that early, keep it simple: a few sips of juice, a banana, a fruit pouch, mini muffin, pikelets with honey/jam, or fruit toast. Start small, build tolerance, and remember, something will always beat nothing.

If you want help tailoring your pre-training nutrition to the time of day you train and the type of session you’re doing, comment FUEL and I’ll DM you to book a call 💚

You’re not doing anything “wrong” if you’ve been defaulting to the low cal/low carb/diet versions of things. Honestly, it’s one of the most common patterns I see - especially in people who train consistently and genuinely care about their health.

Because when your feed is full of “clean eating”, “eat light”, “stay shredded”, “high volume”, “low everything” messaging… it makes total sense that you’d start believing that the lowest calorie option must be the “best” option. But that’s not nutrition - that’s marketing (and a whole lot of influencer BS 🙃).

Here’s the truth: the way someone else eats to stay lean isn’t automatically the healthiest, smartest, or most performance supportive approach for you. Their training load, their goals, their lifestyle, their appetite, their body, and even their job is different. And for a lot of everyday athletes, constantly choosing the “lite” version quietly chips away at your overall energy intake without you realising.

So you might feel like you’re eating heaps… but your meals are low energy density, your carbs are missing, your snacks are “diet”, and you’re left wondering why:
* your workouts feel flat
* recovery is slow
* hunger is through the roof
* you’re tired all the time
* progress is stalling

Sometimes the “healthiest” move isn’t eating less - it’s eating enough, and choosing foods that actually fuel your training and your goals.

If you want to stop having those “I need a snack… but I don’t know what I want” moments that end in random grazing (or skipping it altogether)… this is for you.

Because most of the time it’s that you’re under-prepped, and trying to pick a snack when you’re already too hungry to think straight - then you choose something that doesn’t hit the craving, you’re still unsatisfied… and you’re back in the pantry 20 minutes later.

The solution - have a few go to snack options that actually support your goals -
✅ keep your energy stable between meals
✅ help you hit protein/carbs (especially around training)
✅ prevent you feeling ravenous by dinner
✅ make it easier to adjust intake without overhauling your whole day

Save this for next time you’re standing at the fridge like 🧍‍♀️🤷‍♀️

If you keep asking “what burns fat?” you’ll keep looking for quick fixes, but if you start asking “what fuels training?” everything changes.

Because your body doesn’t “tone up” from restriction, it changes when you train hard, recover well, and eat enough to support it.

Most people I work with aren’t struggling because they eat too much, they’re struggling because they’re under-fuelled Monday to Friday, and stuck wondering why they’re so hungry after dinner.

When you prioritise fuelling your sessions (yes, even in a fat loss phase), you train better, recover faster, and stay more consistent, and that’s when body composition actually starts to shift.

Comment FUEL and I’ll send you a copy of my pre-training nutrition checklist 🙌

Most people don’t fail at fat loss because they’re lazy or lack discipline.

They often struggle because they’re doing too much… eating too little, training hard on empty, cutting calories aggressively, and relying on motivation instead of a plan.

Most of this time this leads to low energy, stalled progress, and cravings that just won’t go away. Fat loss doesn’t come from eating less and hoping for results. 
It comes from fuelling properly, using a small, sustainable calorie deficit, and having a plan you can actually stick to (this is the most important part!)

This is exactly how I support my clients who want to lose body fat, so they can lose fat without losing strength, performance, or enjoyment of training 😊

Due to high interest, I’ve opened a few extra places for The Everyday Athlete - my 12-week sports nutrition coaching program for better energy, performance, and confidence with food.

I’ve also extended enrolments until the end of Monday.
