We’re back with another FAQ from my clients. It’s pretty common in fitness for people looking for specific physique or weight changes to try and achieve a calorie deficit. So, this week, we’re diving into exactly what that means. We’re covering everything from:

  • What exactly is a calorie deficit
  • Why it is or isn’t necessary for your physique goals
  • Several ways to achieve a calorie deficit
  • The issue with most online tracker formulas
  • My recommendation for determining maintenance calories & an appropriate deficit
  • And more!

While I do recommend the self-tracking method I mentioned above, if you do feel the need to get a baseline number to start you on your journey, I highly recommend the Precision Nutrition Calculator.

If you’re struggling with constant dieting, maybe too large of a deficit and yo-yoing back and forth between diets, I highly recommend my Ditch the Diet Drama program to learn how to eat sustainably, without restriction and with a feeling of satisfaction without overindulgence.
