800g Challenge

What are your thoughts on the 800g challenge?

Protein Treats

Hi! I know Marianna makes lots of protein treats and oftentimes will explain that the type of protein (like protein for baking) used is important so it doesn’t taste bad. Are there any hacks to make it taste good if you don’t have baking protein? I have two big containers of protein at home and my husband will lose his mind if I buy even more lol. Thanks!

End of 12 weeks

I’ve been doing the 12 uweek glute and love having a program to focus on and push me. When the 12 weeks are up should we start it again or pick a new one

Adapting when life gets busy

TL;DR Recommendations for temporarily adapting nutrition, workouts and daily steps for a month when you're busy and energy is focussed elsewhere. --- I've worked out for years, but the past year I've focussed on progressive overload and tracking and lost 20kgs/45lbs and I'm a healthy weight and body fat % 😊 I'm in the final month of my Masters in counselling and therapy (I have uni 1 day, work 1 day and placement 1 day a week, rest of the week for dissertation), so very busy atm. I planned to be in a deficit a few more months. I want to keep my 3 gym sessions and 1 run a week through this time for my mental health and routine/structure. I deload every 4/5 weeks and hit 10k steps a day. I want to balance feeling fueled for work and going easy on myself in a stressful time. I'm considering for the next 4 weeks: - start working up to maintenance cals now (don't know what my new maintenance will be) - have the same workout routine, but reduce weight and/or sets in my workouts - reduce to 6-7k steps a day Then I can readdress mid July after I've submitted and had a holiday. Any research or advice on any of this? PS thank you so much for how you've changed my life already ♥️

Nutrition related fields

Hi there! I’ve always been so interested in the fitness and nutrition field and I want to find a meaningful/engaging career path in relation to them to pursue. I have my CPT and nutrition cert and am planning to get my RD but I would be interested in knowing what other ways I can apply my interest and passion in different areas of this field. I would also be interested in hearing Marianna’s experience as being an RD Thank you :)
