71. Eat More to Lose Fat: When it Works and When it Doesn't

In this episode, I break down when increasing calories can actually help your body lose fat long-term, and when it's not the right strategy. We cover: • Why fat loss still requires a calorie deficit • How chronic dieting can reduce daily energy expenditure (NEAT) • When increasing calories can improve training, recovery, sleep, and consistency • Situations where "eat more" is not the first step • Understanding the difference between cut seasons and build/heal seasons   If you've been dieting for years and want to learn how to increase calories strategically, grab my free Reverse Dieting Guide here: 👉  https://acebarbell.com/product/guide-to-reverse-dieting/  If you're tired of guessing and want a clear strategy for fat loss, metabolic health, and long-term results, you can apply for 1:1 coaching here: 👉  https://acebarbell.com/nutrition-coaching/  If this episode helped you, please leave a 5-star review and share it with a friend who needs to hear it.
