Nutrition coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all 🍽️

Different clients need different levels of structure depending on their goal, experience, lifestyle, food confidence, training demands, and how much detail they can realistically stick to.

For some, that means tracking calories and protein.

For others, it means full macro tracking.

For clients who need more detail, we can also track all macros, fibre and electrolytes.

Some prefer recipe-based meal plans with portions, cooking steps, grocery lists, meal swaps and snack options built in.

Others need a detailed meal plan. For that, I use a formula spreadsheet I built myself to calculate calories, macros, micronutrient and electrolyte targets, structure meals across the day, set up 7-day carb cycling where needed, and check the plan against those requirements before it’s finalised.

Other clients do better with my Meal Plan Builder system, which uses protein, carb and fat serves to give more flexibility without tracking every gram.

The point isn’t to force everyone into one method.

It’s to use the right tool for the right person, so nutrition feels easier to follow, flexible enough for real life, and specific enough to drive results.

If you’d like me to take a look at what you’re currently doing with your nutrition and give you some guidance on what I’d adjust, simplify or structure better, DM me or comment “NUTRITION” below 👇🏼

2008 → 2011 → 2016.
72kg → 98kg (natural) → 118kg.

Do I miss being big? Yeah.
Do I miss eating 7 times a day, being out of breath tying my shoes, sweating through every meal, and never being able to sit comfortably anywhere? Not really 😂

Loved every minute of it though. Still do, just differently now 👏🏻

Why exercise alone might not lead to weight loss.

Most people assume more training = more weight loss. The reality is messier — the body is good at quietly compensating for the calories you burn.

Two big reasons:

Appetite goes up. Hard training increases hunger, and most people unconsciously eat the calories back without even noticing.

NEAT goes down. After a tough session you sit more, move less, take the lift instead of the stairs. The calories burned in the gym get clawed back across the rest of your day.

Swipe through for the full breakdown ➡️

The shortcut to remember: diet drives weight loss. Training drives body composition. You need both — and the bridge between them is protein.

I’ve put together a free Protein Guide that covers how much you actually need based on your goal, what it looks like in real food, and the myths to ignore.

Comment or DM me “PROTEIN” and I’ll send it over.

Most people don’t fail at nutrition because they’re lazy or unmotivated.

They fail because every meal becomes a guess, and the guessing wears you down long before the training does.

The way I approach nutrition with clients is built around taking that guesswork out, while teaching you enough that you actually understand the why behind it. Because a plan that works for 6 weeks doesn’t help you in month 7.

Depending on what suits you, it might look like macro tracking to learn what food really contains, habit-based work with no tracking at all, personalised meal plans built into your app, nutrition education, or a mix of all of the above.

The approach fits the person, not the other way round.

Less guesswork. More structure. Practical, non-restrictive strategies that fit real life.

If you’re not sure what would suit you or want to know more, DM me and we can chat 👊

First official meal prep with set macros since before I started my masters in March 2025.

Feels good to get back into it this week now that things have officially slowed down and I’m back into training post-surgery.

This prep was inspired by writing a client’s meal plan yesterday - looked at it and thought, yeah, I’d eat all of this. So I went to IGA, grabbed the bits we didn’t have, and got into it. I sometimes do the same with training programs. Nothing about my own training or eating is that serious, so client work sometimes ends up being what programs me too.

3 days of this prepped in 60 minutes and every dish, pan and spoon washed as I went. Ha, still got it 😌

240g protein | 400g carbs | 80g fats | 40g fibre

6500mg potassium | 1700mg calcium | 850mg magnesium.

Super coachable, consistent, and all in from the start.

Dropped 11kg in the first 6 months working together, then committed to building strength, and I could see the shift in how much she trusted her body and what it could do.

Strength had doubled, even tripling across multiple exercises.
Including a whopping 150kg to 300kg+ leg press!

This is what I love most about my job - helping people realise how capable and resilient their bodies are, and how good they can actually feel!

It's been a pleasure working with you and seeing you smash your goals! 🤜🏼🤛🏼😁
