Today, we’re answering listener questions!

·       Are greens supplements worth it?

·       How to increase maintenance calories?

·       I went off track with my nutrition for 3 days and I’m scared to weigh myself. Have I ruined my progress?

·       When you bulked, how many calories over maintenance were you, and are you going to bulk again?

·       Cheat meals turn into cheat days, especially when I’m stressed.

·       How to stop emotional eating?

·       How to get enough protein? I try to pay attention, but it seems like I’m always falling short when it seems so easy for others.

·       I want to decrease food focus – always thinking about my next snack or meal. Any tips?

“Emotional eating isn’t always 100% a bad thing. Sometimes you just want a big fat bowl of ice cream because it’ll make you feel better, while acknowledging that it’s not going to ultimately fix the problem. It becomes a problem when it’s getting in your way.”

“You can’t gain body fat after 3 days of going off track with your nutrition, unless you’re eating an obscenely high amount of calories. Just be aware that you didn’t ruin your progress. The one thing you can do is make the next best choice.”

- Brooke Madigan
