Regarding your first question…essentially what plan should you be on… You need to decide what your #1 goal is. Is it to get faster, lose weight, or do both at the same time?

The only solution that I have found that works long term is to eat healthier and healthier and healthier. The question often is … what is healthier? To me that is: Not eating out - restaurant and togo food is highly palatable, calorie dense, often nutritionally deficient. So if you eat out 10 tim…

Weight Loss - Acceptable Caloric Deficit? Nutrition

Hey everyone. Finally taking a look at weight/nutrition to hopefully improve my performance. Are there any general guidelines on what is an acceptable caloric deficit while training? Since 11/15 I’ve lost around 8-10 lbs (3.5-4.5 kg). I started using MyFitnessPal after the New Year to track things with much more precision. Last week, it looks like my caloric deficit was around 4,600 calories, or 650 per day. I am also wrapping up SSBHV2; my first attempt at a high volume plan. You probabl…

Weight Loss in Build Phase Nutrition

Wanted to see if anyone else had experience with weight loss in the build phase. I seem to remember hearing on the podcast at some point that its not an ideal time to do it due to the high intensity of the training in build phase. However, I let my diet slip a bit during the base phase and have an unwanted 10 lbs hanging around now heading into Build. For reference I am 6’-1", 200 lbs (4.23W/kg) right now looking to get between 188-192lbs. Would I just be asking for sickness if I attempt to drop…
