Are you over 35, training hard, but not seeing the results you want?
In this episode, I break down exactly how I would eat if I were starting fresh, 8 clear, actionable steps that cut through the confusion and finally get your nutrition working with you, not against you.

Whether your goal is fat loss, building muscle, increasing energy, or feeling healthier — this episode gives you the structure you’ve been missing.

• Why most over-35 gym-goers stall with their nutrition — and how to fix it.

• The 1–2–5 meal planning method for effortless weekly structure.

• How to get hunger under control without cutting calories too low.

• The protein & fibre targets that actually move the needle for fat loss and muscle growth.

• How to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner work for YOU, even with a busy schedule and family.

• The one change that makes your diet more filling without adding calories.

• Why planning snacks (instead of winging them) is a game changer.

• How to repeat and automate your meals so results become inevitable.

As we age, we lose muscle faster, recover slower, and our metabolism naturally shifts. That means guessing your way through nutrition is a recipe for frustration.
This episode is all about giving you clarity and control so your training, energy, and health all move forward together.

• Break through a fat loss plateau

• Build muscle while staying lean

• Stop random hunger and cravings

• Finally understand what and how much to eat
