Ep. 391 Q&A - Are You Overeating Without Knowing It? Losing Progress After Surgery, Protein as You Age, Training Plateaus, and Why You Don’t Follow Through - The Coaches Roundtable

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A, Chase and Chris answer real listener questions about food, training, mindset, and staying consistent.They start by talking about how easy it is to eat way more calories than you think, especially when eating fast food. A single meal can take up most of your daily calories without you even realizing it. This leads into a bigger conversation about awareness, tracking your food honestly, and why so many people feel like they barely eat but still struggle with fat loss.The guys also answer questions about training struggles, including why assisted pull ups feel harder set to set, what happens if you need surgery and have to stop lifting, and how quickly strength actually comes back. They explain muscle memory, recovery, and why taking time off does not erase years of progress.They dive into protein needs as you get older, why spreading protein across meals matters, and how strength training helps your body use protein better. They also cover mental roadblocks like knowing what to do but not doing it, and how systems, planning, and accountability make all the difference.They finish by answering what you should drink during workouts and keep it simple with practical advice you can actually use.Chapters(00:00) Welcome Back and Coaches Roundtable Intro(00:20) Fast Food Calories and Why Awareness Matters(04:50) Teaching Kids and Adults How to Make Better Food Choices(09:10) Assisted Pull Ups and Why Strength Drops Between Sets(11:53) Surgery, Time Off, and Losing Progress Fear(16:11) Muscle Memory and Bouncing Back Faster Than You Think(16:20) Protein Needs as You Age and Anabolic Resistance(20:06) Mental Hurdles, Consistency, and Building Better Systems(26:00) What Should You Drink During Your Workout(30:23) Final Thoughts and How to Submit QuestionsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
