But what do I actually DO?” — this episode is for you.This is the how.Not a diet.Not a reset.And definitely not another “eat less, move more” plan that ignores how hard you actually train.This episode is for the woman who:trains 4–6+ times per weekloves running, lifting, classes, HYROX, endurancerefuses to give up training just to be leanbut is frustrated that her body doesn’t reflect the effort she’s putting inIn this episode, I break down the exact nutrition framework I use with high-training women who want:less puffinessmore muscle definitionbetter recoverystable energyand a physique that actually looks like they trainwithout sacrificing performance.We cover:why chasing a calorie deficit is usually the wrong first movehow to find your true maintenance (and why it changes everything)why protein isn’t the problem — and what actually ishow to fuel carbs with intention instead of fearwhy training quality beats training volume every timethe real role stress plays in blocking physique changesand how eating more strategically often improves body compositionThis is not about getting shredded.It’s about fuelling like an athlete — not a dieter — and matching your nutrition to the work you’re already doing.If this episode connects the dots for you, it’s a sign you’re not broken, lazy, or undisciplined.You’re just applying diet-culture rules to a high-performing body.🎧 Listen in, save it, and share it with the girl who trains harder than anyone you know — but still feels stuck.If you want help applying this properly to your training, schedule, and goals, you can DM me on Instagram @poppy.nfc or join my free Female WhatsApp group via the link in my bio.
