Jeff, Alberto, and Steve discuss the benefits of having a plan, how they put together their weekly eating plans, how they help their athletes/clients build their weekly eating plans, and recommendations to consider when you're building your plan. What is the difference between new-age meal plans and old-school meal plans? How do the coaches help their athletes/clients develop a plan that works for them? How can you build a plan you enjoy and can consistently adhere to while at the same time make sure it makes sense from a scientific perspective? What is the role of snacks in a fat-loss phase? What is a strategy you can use to help make establishing new eating habits easier? How does Alberto adjust his diet when he's going from a maintenance or lean-gaining phase to a fat-loss phase? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
