Things I’m personally focusing on during the holidays to maintain my body composition as a Dietitian Nutritionist.
Maintaining is progress 😅
Hear me out… As a Dietitian Nutritionist and Trainer, I usually don’t recommend attempting fat loss through the holidays due to disruptions in schedule, training, and diet. This makes for too many inconsistencies.
Not to mention, I want clients to have flexibility around the holidays to enjoy memories with friends and family… and those Christmas cookies.
So yeah, while we aren’t targeting weight loss thru the holidays, we are staying focused on foundational nutrition habits to set us up for long-term, sustainable results👇🏽
🍗 Eat enough protein: aim for 1g Protein/pound of bodyweight/day.
🥬 Include enough high Fiber foods like fruits + veggies.
💦 Water: aim for half your bodyweight in ounces/day.
💪🏼 Aim for 3+ strength training days.
Not to mention, eating enough calories thru the holidays means better, stronger, more badass workouts. Which means better results, improved body composition, and a boost in your metabolism 🔥
