Before I change a client's nutrition plan, I'm asking a lot more questions... ✔️ Have they truly been consistent? ✔️ What do their progress pictures show? ✔️ How are their strength and energy? ✔️ Are they recovering well? ✔️ Do they need to push harder... or actually eat more? Coaching isn't about making changes every week. It's about making the right changes at the right time.
