NUTRITION COACHING FAQ

Common questions about our personalized nutrition coaching approach

1. Is this a meal plan or actual nutrition coaching?

This is nutrition coaching, not just a meal plan. Coach EJ focuses on sustainable eating habits, proper portioning, food flexibility, and real-life adherence — not crash diets or overly restrictive plans.

Plans are adjusted based on your lifestyle, training schedule, food preferences, and progress over time.

2. Do I need to count calories or macros?

Not always. Depending on your goals and experience level, Coach EJ may use:

  • Portion-based guidance
  • Intuitive eating frameworks
  • Simplified macro awareness
  • Or structured macro targets (if needed)

The goal is long-term consistency, not burnout from tracking.

3. Can nutrition coaching work even if I eat out or have a busy schedule?

Yes — and this is exactly what the coaching is designed for. Coach EJ helps you:

  • Make better food choices when eating out
  • Build flexible meal options
  • Adjust nutrition around work, travel, and social events

You don't need a "perfect" routine to make progress.

4. Is nutrition coaching only for fat loss?

No. Nutrition coaching supports multiple goals, including:

  • Fat loss
  • Muscle building
  • Body recomposition
  • Performance improvement
  • General health and energy levels

Your plan is aligned with your training program and lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

5. Will my nutrition plan change over time?

Yes. Nutrition coaching is progressive, just like training. Coach EJ regularly adjusts your plan based on:

  • Body changes
  • Training intensity
  • Lifestyle shifts
  • Plateaus or adherence challenges

This ensures your nutrition evolves as your body and goals evolve.

6. Do you accommodate food preferences or restrictions?

Absolutely. Plans are customized based on:

  • Food preferences and dislikes
  • Cultural food choices
  • Dietary restrictions or sensitivities

The goal is to create a plan you can actually follow, not suffer through.

7. Is nutrition coaching suitable for beginners?

Yes. Coach EJ works with beginners and experienced trainees alike. Beginners are guided step-by-step with:

  • Simple food structures
  • Clear expectations
  • Easy-to-follow adjustments

No prior nutrition knowledge is required.
