We talk with Power Nutrition coaches Kelly and Kayla about what a year of nutrition coaching inside a gym has taught them and why the upcoming fall challenge is built around simple targets that…

That doesn't mean you can't do it, but I think we're gearing our general content around losing weight.
So that might mean how do I subtract calories from...
Like, how do I calculate my calories, and then how, how much should I go into a deficit? That person that might not necessarily need to lose weight, um, might not need or might not benefit from subtracting calories.

I'm gonna gear it towards, like, a calorie surplus.
So when we're saying, "Hey, cal- calculate this and then decrease your calories by maybe 300 to 500," maybe they're increasing and going the opposite way.
