Ep. 23 - Meal Timing, Snacking, and Why Context Matters

In this episode, we’re diving into meal timing and snacks — should you even be worried about them? Do they actually affect fat loss, and do they really make a difference?Carmie and Dal share their own experiences with meal timing and snacking, both in past fat-loss phases and in maintenance now. We talk honestly about what we’ve tried, what we’ve changed over time, and why there isn’t a single “right” way to structure meals.We also walk through real client examples and why two people’s meal timing and snack choices can look completely different, yet still be equally effective. You’ll hear why systems matter, why your schedule matters, and how working with your real life (not against it) is key to optimizing results.And as usual, the conversation naturally moves beyond food specifics into body image, comparison, and the idea of a “perfect” body. We unpack why context matters, how beauty standards constantly shift, and why what truly matters is what feels fit, healthy, and sustainable for your body.If you’ve ever felt confused or overthought meals, snacks, or timing — this one will help you zoom out, breathe, and refocus on what actually matters.Connect with Carmie on IG @carmhawk_getsfitConnect with Dal on IG @nutritioncoachingbydal
