I’ve helped thousands of people successfully lose weight through my coaching program and once people have lost the weight I slowly reintroduce calories into their diet.
Think of fat loss like paying off a debt. If your goal is to lose 10 pounds, that means you need to “pay off” roughly 35,000 calories (since 1 lb of fat equals about 3,500 calories). Until you’ve burned through that calories, as if you don’t have disposable income — aka extra calories to spend freely.
But once you’ve that loss fat, things change. You’ve created room to reintroduce calories in a smart, strategic way. I typically add them back in slowly, in blocks, until my clients have around 700–800 extra calories per day to work with for maintenance or a lean bulk.
Here are 3 high-quality, nutrient-dense foods I often recommend to clients post-cut or for those struggling to maintain their weight:
🔘 Olive oil – A heart-healthy fat source that’s calorie-dense and easy to drizzle onto veggies or protein.
🔘 Oatmeal – A slow-digesting carb that supports energy levels and digestive health.
🔘 Nut butter – Great for adding extra calories, healthy fats, and tons of flavor to meals.
Once your calorie budget expands, you need to make sure you’re “spending” it on foods that support your body, your goals, and that you enjoy!
