214. Maintenance Calories: Your Body’s Sweet Spot

Do you know your maintenance calories and why they would change? Most ladies who lift don’t, and it’s the missing baseline for energy, hormone health, muscle growth, and sustainable fat loss. In this episode, I’m breaking down what maintenance calories are, realistic ranges for women who train, what determines yours, and how to use them throughout the year so you stop yo-yo dieting and start eating enough to perform and look your best. You’ll learn: Why maintenance is your body’s “sweet spot” (and why it’s a range) How it supports fat loss phases without rebound What happens to maintenance as you get leaner How to calculate and strategically work up to yours If you want a physique that’s strong, fueled, and maintainable, this is step one. When I say “Eat Enough”, eat at your maintenance calories is exactly what I mean.  LIMITED TIME OFF: Work with Jenny in Create Your Shape SPRINT (8-weeks starting Sept. 28th 2026) → https://jennythenutritionist.com/create-your-shape/Book a Consultation with Jenny → https://calendly.com/jennythenutritionist/consultationFollow Jenny the Nutritionist on Instagram → @jennythenutritionist
