![]() Which I will say isn’t the most positive for meal plans, lol.īut hey, I’m not against them at all. We recorded a podcast about flexible dieting vs meal plans. This is why providing you with the right exit strategy is one of the key components of our individualized online nutrition coaching system. Especially after a fat loss phase, your exit strategy is often more important than the actual diet itself. What happens once you reach your goal? Are you just supposed to be eating the same foods to maintain your results? The answer is no, your food intake will ebb and flow depending on the nutritional phase or ‘season’ you’re in at a given point of your fitness journey. Instead of learning how to be flexible, you feel like you’re ‘cheating’ any time you have a bigger meal. ![]() It’s either on or off plan, which can give you a sense of failure when you don’t manage to strictly follow the plan. If you’re not provided with both macros and education on how to include flexible foods, a meal plan can become very restrictive. If you often go to restaurants, friends and family for dinner, a traditional meal plan can become very difficult to stick to. Yep, a meal plan can either improve or mess up your adherence. ![]() Which can be an issue, because you want to know how to do without one too. Without it you may see results, but you won’t truly understand why and how.īecause you don’t understand the why and how, you may become dependent on the plan. Education is the foundation of long term success. Simply following a plan (that you didn’t create yourself) is convenient, but doesn’t teach you about nutrition. How often you’ll have to adjust your macros and portions will depend on the phase you’re in and how well your body’s responding to your plan at the time. If you have a solid understanding of how nutrition and macros work, you should be able to make adjustments to your plan without a problem. But especially if you know what you’re going to be eating on a weekly basis, you’ll make things a whole lot easier for yourself.
