Struggling with energy during workouts while trying to lose weight? You're not alone. This deep dive into the science of training while in a calorie deficit reveals why so many athletes feel sluggish when cutting calories—and offers practical solutions to maintain performance while still achieving weight loss goals.
The conversation tackles a crucial nutritional dilemma faced by dedicated fitness enthusiasts: how to preserve workout intensity while creating the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss. While conventional wisdom often pushes low-carb approaches for shedding pounds, this strategy can severely undermine performance for those engaged in high-intensity training. We explore why your anaerobic energy systems demand glycogen (stored carbs) and why fat, despite being an excellent fuel source during low-intensity activities, simply cannot be mobilized quickly enough to power through heavy lifts or HIIT sessions.
Rather than following the standard "cut carbs to lose weight" advice, active individuals often benefit from a counterintuitive approach—maintaining adequate carbohydrate intake while creating a deficit primarily by reducing dietary fat. This strategy provides your muscles with the glycogen they need for powerful training sessions while still achieving the overall calorie reduction necessary for weight loss. You'll discover practical nutrition timing strategies, specific pre-workout meal suggestions, and even natural carbohydrate sources that can help fuel morning workouts without digestive discomfort. Whether you're struggling with morning workouts or trying to balance your fitness and physique goals, these evidence-based recommendations will help you train hard while getting lean. Ready to stop sacrificing performance for weight loss? This episode shows you don't have to choose between the two.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right answering a member's question here.
I think it's a good question.
This member worked out in themorning hours, usually around 7
am, and they've recently takenon a calorie deficit.
You know, the only reason to beon a calorie deficit is to lose
weight.
That is the goal.
And they asked me I'm feelingsluggish during my workouts.
(00:21):
I don't feel like I have the gothat I had, you know, before
taking on this calorie deficit.
That's me about some, you know,ideas and thoughts on
potentially being able to stillget the most out of that workout
but maintain a calorie deficit.
So I don't have a blanket likethis is the answer for this,
because this is very individualin many ways, because some folks
(00:43):
folks are just very fat adapted.
So if you're more fat adaptedeither genetically or training
adaptation over time you aregoing to be able to mobilize
body fat into energy moreefficiently.
This will be difficult at ananaerobic high intensity for
everybody, because when you'reanaerobic your body really
(01:05):
prefers glycogen as its mainsource of fuel converting to ATP
, because fat takes longer toconvert to ATP and it only
happens at a lower heart rate inthat aerobic phase of training.
So, depending on where yourheart rate's running during most
of our workouts and ourworkouts are designed for the
most part, to be pretty highintensity.
So chances are, if you'refunctioning in an anaerobic
(01:28):
state, if you're on a caloriedeficit, being short on
carbohydrates could be affectingyou short term on your
performance in the gym.
So what are some ideas on wherewe could potentially overcome
here?
First off, how are we achievingthis calorie deficit?
Protein should always bestandard, so that's going to be
consistent across the board.
So, regardless of your caloriedeficit or calorie maintenance
(01:51):
or calorie surplus, proteinshould be consistent across the
board.
So we're not going to play withthe calorie equation on protein
.
What we're going to play withthe calorie equation is going to
be carbohydrates and fat, ourenergy sources, and I know most
people reduce carbohydrate.
You lose weight.
That is society's answer.
But the reality is you reducecalories, you lose weight.
(02:12):
But when we are training, Iwould say that we need to reduce
the calories more from fat thancarbohydrates.
Then the sedentary persontrying to lose weight or the
very low activity person tryingto lose weight I would say we
need to reduce calories fromcarbohydrates and not fat and
maintain fat calories, becausewhen you're sedentary, your body
(02:33):
is going to be functioning inan aerobic state more and being
at that deficit, you're going tobe able to mobilize fat and use
it as energy.
But those of us that train andenjoy training and enjoy high
intensity training, enjoyweightlifting.
I will argue that being at acalorie deficit by pulling fat
down but keeping carbohydrates alittle bit higher is going to
(02:55):
be much more beneficial.
Now we do need to weigh andmeasure.
We need to make sure we'reactually at a calorie deficit.
Most people over underestimatehow much they're eating, so
they're like I don't eat a lotbut I'm not losing weight.
If you're not losing weight,you're not at a calorie deficit.
It's the laws of thermodynamics.
When it comes to the body.
It's pretty hard, objectivefacts.
If you're at a calorie deficitfor sustained periods of time,
(03:18):
your body has no choice but tolose weight.
You get the.
I'm not even going to get intoit in this video.
So those of us that like totrain, I would suggest let's see
where we can get that fat down.
We might be moving to leanercuts of meat.
We might be moving towards notusing olive oil, which is
another topic on weight loss,but getting away from cooking
(03:39):
oils, getting away from butter,things that are high in fat,
making sure we're using low fatmilk or non-fat milk, low fat,
non-fat yogurts, you know,really seeing where, in the
protein side of things, can wepull down our fat intake to get
that calorie deficit?
That's something I personallydo Reducing calories, because
you got, you know, nine caloriesper gram of fat.
(04:00):
So if we can get to our caloriedeficit by reducing fat, by
keeping carbs up, especially ontraining days and recovering for
the next training day, if we'regoing to go into a sedentary
three days weekend or long trip,no, we're not going to want to
use carbs.
Carbohydrates need to beingested for activity.
That is their intended use.
For physical activity they'renot intended.
(04:23):
They're not going to be a greatsource because unused
carbohydrates are going to beturned into stored body fat.
So if we're not using it, weare going to store it All right.
So we need to be intentionalwith our carbohydrate intake.
So, working out early in themorning, feeling a little
drained, I would suggest let'sfirst weigh and measure our food
, see how much protein, fats andcarbs we're getting on average.
(04:45):
It doesn't need to be a perfectdeal, but this isn't something
I would intuitively try to getout.
I would want to know the hardnumbers.
So weigh and measure you know afew days worth of food, track
it, let's get some hard numbersthere.
And then if our carbohydrates,say, hypothetically, are around
200 grams per day, I thinkthat's a great starting point,
(05:05):
depending on your body size.
And if we get an in-body scan,we can fine tune this, we can
dial this in a little better,but I think for the most part
that's still, in some realms, alow carb diet by all accounts.
But any given one hour oftraining, we're gonna probably
use 20, maybe 30 grams ofcarbohydrate total during that
(05:28):
training session.
But then carbohydrates are usedfor muscle protein synthesis.
They're used for recovery.
We got to replenish that muscleglycogen over the next 24 hours
to train the next day.
And there's two ways you'regoing to get that blood glycogen
, that muscle glycogen, restored.
It's going to be consumingcarbohydrates, body's going to
break it down.
It's going to go in yourbloodstream.
Your muscles are going toabsorb it.
The other way is when you areat rest, your body is going to
(05:50):
mobilize fat and it's going togo into your liver and through
gluconeogenesis it's going tokick out blood glucose and your
muscles can absorb it that way.
So you're going to create.
You're going to get and orcreate the glucose, no matter
what it's the time frame thatit's going to happen in to
recover for the next workout.
So we want our musclessaturated Now.
Also, if we're just recentlywent into this calorie deficit,
(06:13):
we need to let our body havesome time to adapt.
It's used to having all thefood that it needs and a surplus
of it probably.
So your body kind of figuringout its mechanisms for its
activity and let it come to kindof a homeostasis, if you will
at this new caloric deficitCould take a little time, a
couple weeks.
Uh, could take a, you know, alittle time, a couple weeks.
(06:36):
But in general, if we can pullback on the fat to achieve our
deficit, keep our carbs maybe200, you know some folks take it
down to 100 and to be a little.
That's a low carb diet.
So this depends on your size,your muscle mass, how hard you
train, how often you train, andI would play with that
carbohydrate number.
I would try to consume thatcarbohydrates most of it around
training.
Literature out there is showingthat as long as you're
(06:59):
consuming it in a 24-hour cycleconsistently, your body is going
to consistently replenish.
I personally find better formyself that if I consume the
bulk of my calories and thenprotein and carbohydrates, I
consume the bulk of mycarbohydrates around training.
I tend to recover the best withthat and I feel better the rest
of that day and then going intothe next day Before working out
(07:20):
.
I do personally train betterand feel better when I have
carbohydrate in my system.
I don't like doing highintensity or heavy weight
lifting with a fast being on anempty stomach.
It's not something that Iparticularly feel the best at.
I can do it as a wrestler.
So training hard starved isbuilt into my DNA at this point
(07:42):
although that was 20 some yearsago I feel so much better.
So for me, two hours before Itrain, I do consume about 20, 30
grams of carbohydrate.
I make a smoothie ofblueberries, milk, my fiber,
creatine and protein powder.
I blend that every morning or Ihave overnight oats, which has
approximately the same ratio ofcarbohydrates and protein.
(08:02):
That's about two hours before Itrain and that does me solid.
But if I can't have that 30minutes before I train, it
doesn't sit well in my stomach.
So if I'm going to havesomething and we're going to do
like once in a while, jump intoa 5am workout.
What I have then is a supplementcalled Ignition and it's from
(08:24):
First Form and that's acarbohydrate mineral supplement.
Fast digested.
It is straight dextrose, soit's pretty much straight sugar.
I've watched it on my glucosemonitor.
It hits my bloodstream fast 15minutes.
It's in my bloodstream becausemy blood glucose goes through
the roof and with that big of awhat do you want to say glucose
dump into my body, I want tomake sure that's something my
(08:46):
body is going to consume.
From an energy usage standpoint, you know, I thought is not as
much insulin is going to beproduced to chase that blood
spike down.
It's going to be.
My muscles are going to begrabbing onto that, using it up.
I do feel good when I do thatand you can get anywhere easily.
I mean, I think one scoop ofit's 40 grams of carbohydrates,
(09:07):
so you can easily hit that 20 to30 gram range that I like for
training in our workouts withignition and a scoop of protein.
So you're getting know 28 gramsof protein if you're using
transparent labs and you knowanywhere from 15 to 30 grams of
carbohydrate that's quicklyabsorbed into your blood ready
to be used.
You got amino acids.
You got glucose ready to go andyou play with this.
(09:29):
You start out low.
Okay, I'm going to do a quarterscoop of ignition.
How do I feel?
Yeah, I feel better, but Istill don't have the whole
workout, I'm not.
I still feel that I did notfeel prior to my caloric deficit
.
So then go up to a half scoop,do that for a week.
Okay, feeling better, and youkind of find a sweet spot to
where it's like okay, now I'mgetting enough carbohydrate to
(09:50):
feel great for the whole workout.
The same way I felt prior totaking on this caloric deficit.
And I bring up prior to takingon this caloric deficit because
if you bonked before, it mightbe a lack of fitness issue
versus the calories per se.
But that's a whole notherconversation where you talk
about condition versusdecondition athlete and being
able to understand how your bodyis responding to the training.
(10:14):
A deconditioned athlete can eatall the carbohydrates in the
world and still going to bonk inthe workout.
Deconditioned athlete can eatall the carbohydrates in the
world and still going to bonk inthe workout.
So this what I'm talking aboutis a person who is a, somebody
who trains consistently, whoputs in good efforts every
single day, and this is advicefor that human being.
Of that, the deconditionedperson's, a different
conversation.
That makes sense.
(10:35):
So yeah, to recap here, we'llgo in modify carbohydrates,
increase carbohydrates, modifyfats down to achieve our caloric
deficit.
That way, protein is going tostay the same.
Again, with a good in-body scan,I can figure out some great
starting numbers for you,anybody to work with.
And, like I said, these arestarting numbers.
There's no like this is yournumber, these are starting
(10:57):
numbers.
We do it for, you know, two tosix weeks, see how we feel, how
we're responding and we makepivots and adjustments.
But then I'd isolatecarbohydrates around training so
we are getting replenished withour blood glycogen.
I happen to know this personand I know you're going to watch
this, but I would do around 200grams of carbohydrates per day
and I would try to isolate a bigchunk of that in your
(11:20):
post-workout meal.
So you're getting that, thatglucose, into your bloodstream
and your muscles and proteinsynthesis and recovery are
starting to happen, you know,earlier in the day versus later
in the day, so that when you'regoing to bed and wake up the
next day you know a lot of thatreplenishment has taken place.
Then I would just play aroundwith.
(11:41):
If you can't, if you're notfeeling good digesting whole
food like fruit and honey as acarb source before working out,
you can play around increasingthe ignition.
I think that's a greatcarbohydrate supplement.
There's a handful of differentcompanies out there with
different carbohydratesupplements.
That's the one I've used foryears when I can't eat in the
morning.
Honey is really easily digested.
(12:02):
I think it is a great source ofcarbohydrate for training and I
would consider looking intohoney if you want a more natural
, non-supplement way to increaseyour glucose intake.
One or two tablespoons of honey.
I can't remember off the top ofmy head the exact carbohydrate
concentrations of that, but I dothink honey is a great easily
digested whole food tool to usefor training carbohydrates.
(12:26):
And yeah, hope this answers somequestions, maybe spawns a few
more questions, but if anythingcomes up, you guys you can throw
in the comments, you can textme, email me and I will do my
best to answer them asintelligently as I can, and if I
don't know the answer, I'lltell you I don't know the answer
and I will do my best to answerthem as intelligently as I can,
and if I don't know the answer,I'll tell you I don't know the
answer and I will do theresearch to hopefully find the
answer, and I'm here to help youguys on your health and fitness
(12:47):
journey.
Yeah, love you guys and I willsee you.
I don't even know what the nextvideo I'm gonna make is, but I
got a laundry list of them fromquestions and stuff that have
come in.
