247. Intense Exercise and Food Choices

Do you ever wonder what you should eat when you start doing more intense exercise or strength training? I get this question a lot, and my answer may surprise you. It’s not about following a strict diet or eating a specific amount of protein. The key is tuning into your body’s signals and ideal feeling state. By doing this, you can make food choices that leave you feeling energized, lean, and strong.

Some days, my body craves protein, other days it wants fruit or something lighter like nuts. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — our bodies change, and so do our nutritional needs. I encourage you to use any lifestyle change as an opportunity to deepen your body trust because it’s all about honing that skill of paying attention to what your body is asking for at that moment, rather than following rigid diet advice.

Tune in today and you’ll walk away knowing how to fuel your body for strength training and intense workouts in a way that suits you. You’ll learn to trust your hunger cues, choose foods that energize you, and sift through nutrition advice to find what really works for your body. By the end, you’ll have the tools to feel stronger, healthier, and more in tune with what your body truly needs.
