If the protein bar says 200 calories.. but has 10 grams of fiber, and hence less net carbs, have I been eating more carbs and calories all this time? I don’t want to change my macros I just want to make healthier food choices for gut health, energy, performance.. I didn’t realize companies delete the calories from fiber.. even though studies now show we do digest them.(6:50) - 52 year old female been active in weight lifting and fitness for 30 years. I am not good at resting between sets so like to super set. Currently super setting push day with quad exercises and pull day with hams and glutes. I take a day between push and pull day and just do LISS. Usually take 1 full rest day per week. Is this too much, should I be resting between sets rather than super setting?(16:30) - Love the podcast Cody and Travis! Thanks for always answering questions and not being rude when answering back to questions like some fitness professionals can be as if they are annoyed. When doing a 4 day split (lower, back/bis, lower, chest/shoulder/tris) — how many sets for both back and biceps would be best for muscle growth? Same with chest/shoulders/triceps.(31:15) - Just getting my husband into calorie tracking…finally! We have a wedding coming up and he wants to know what is the best alcohol choice for weight loss! (He normally drinks brandy and coke). Is it better to enjoy the brandy and a low calorie soda or rather switch to whiskey? He wants to enjoy a few drinks, but is keen to keep it calorie controlled! Or… do we just enjoy the wedding, without restriction? I just don't want him to “give up”. He has tried to control calorie intake previously but always goes off track on weekends or after a few stressful days!—-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ-

Or do you think it's important for each day to be more consistent around maintenance to reverse some of the metabolic adaptations and cycling calories (so having some days in deficit too) could have a detrimental effect especially when it comes to normalizing the hormones levels.(19:00) - I am currently working with a coach for the 2nd time for a small deficit (to lose 5-7 pounds) and i’ve lost my menstrual cycle 2 weeks in. Is this normal or dangerous?(28:15) - Within the last decade, what do you think is the most significant scientific discovery for health/fitness?(33:20) - I was an in person trainer for a few years and have now stepped into the online space. In general most people are really responsive to form checks and take cues via video feedback really well but I have a couple clients who really seem to struggle with form on some exercises, even after many different tips/cues/different angles, etc. my question is, do you ever find it necessary to have clients find an in person trainer for a few sessions so that they can get some hands on assistance?—-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ-
