On today’s episode, I am sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners named Christy on how to eat to lose fat and gain muscle so you don’t look “skinny fat” and instead look strong, lean and toned.
If you have lost weight or don’t feel like you have a lot of weight to lose however you still don’t feel your fittest and healthiest – today’s episode is on skinny fat and particularly what you should be eating to gain muscle and improve strength so you look leaner and more toned.
The key to reversing skinny fat is not by eating less, but eating smarter and more intentional. In today’s episode I’m breaking down what you need to know about your calories for this goal and how to adjust your macros and training approach. I also discuss what types of foods you should be eating, and why.
By the end of this episode you’ll walk away with a sustainable strategy to nourish your body, support muscle gain, improve your metabolic health, and feel better in your body!
