Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

A lot of people feel like the second they eat over 1500 calories, they instantly gain weight. In today’s episode, I break down why that feeling happens, why your metabolism probably isn’t broken, and why your maintenance calories may feel artificially low.

I also explain the biggest mistakes people make with scale weight fluctuations, staying too lean for too long, chronic dieting, inaccurate tracking, low muscle mass, and trying to maintain high output on low calories. I cover the physiological adaptations that happen when energy intake stays low for too long, how stress and recovery play into it, and what you can do to increase your maintenance calories over time. So if you feel stuck eating low calories, afraid of gaining weight, or frustrated with your progress, this episode is a must-listen.
