ABOUT THIS GUIDE

We’ve all been there - wanting to lose fat, build muscle, or simply feel
healthier, but not knowing where to start. Nutrition often feels like the
hardest part, and it’s easy to fall into the yo-yo effect or give up when
everything feels overwhelming. What most people forget is that real
progress comes with patience, consistency, and a balanced approach.
That’s why getting familiar with the basics can really pay off.

This guide is here to simplify the process - helping you choose foods
that leave you energized, strong, and satisfied, while showing you
different ways to get closer to your dream body.

There are no strict rules - intuitive eating can be a great and healthy
way to work towards your dream body by helping you listen to your
body and build a positive relationship with food. However, learning to
balance your calories and nutrients provides a clear understanding of
fat loss and muscle building principles. It helps you achieve a healthier
balance and reach your goals faster and more effectively.

Remember, every small step you take counts. Appreciating each one
will make the journey even better. You’re doing great - even when you
face setbacks. They are part of the process, and you should never feel
bad about them. Keep going - you’ve got this!

THE BASICS
When working on your fitness goals, it’s important to know how to move
between different phases, like building muscle, losing fat, or doing both. What
works best depends on your goals, your starting point, and your lifestyle.

Understanding Calories and TDEE

A calorie measures the energy your body gets from food.


Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) is the number of calories you burn
daily. If you eat the same as your TDEE, your weight stays the same. Adjusting
your calorie intake based on your goals - cutting, bulking, maintaining, or
recomposition - can help you optimize your results.

To calculate your TDEE, start by estimating your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
using the Mifflin-St Jeor Formula:

For women:
BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (years) - 161

Multiply your BMR by an activity factor:

1.2 – little to no exercise


1.375 – light exercise (1–3 days/week)
1.55 – moderate exercise (3–5 days/week)
1.725 – heavy exercise (6–7 days/week)
1.9 – very active (intense daily exercise)

That means: TDEE=BMR×Activity Factor

For example, a 65 kg, 170 cm, 30-year-old woman


with moderate activity would calculate:

BMR = 1401.5 kcal


TDEE = 1401.5 × 1.55 = 2172 kcal.

Maintenance
(maintain your current weight, muscle mass, and fat levels without
significant changes)

Maintenance means eating around your TDEE to keep your


weight stable. At this calorie level, your body has enough energy
to maintain your current muscle, fat, and fitness levels. Your diet
should be balanced, including all the necessary macronutrients
and micronutrients. Workouts during maintenance are focused
on consistency - doing enough to keep your strength and fitness
but without pushing hard to build muscle or lose fat.

Body Recomposition
(losing fat & building muscle at the same time)

Recomping is about losing fat and building muscle at the


same time. It’s perfect if you’re a beginner, coming back after
a break, or haven’t followed a solid training or diet plan before.
Stick close to your TDEE and focus on eating plenty of protein
to support muscle growth and fat loss. Include carbs to keep
your energy up for workouts and recovery and don’t forget
healthy fats to keep your hormones and body running smoothly.
Focus on progressive overload by constantly challenging your
muscles to grow stronger. If your progress slows down and
you’re still not happy with where you’re at, take a moment to
check in on things like your recovery, sleep and stress levels.
If those are all in a good place, think about whether moving
to a cut or a bulk feels right for your goals.

When to Stop:
Stop recomping if your progress slows.

What’s Next:
If losing fat becomes a priority, switch to cutting. If your main
goal is to build muscle, move to bulking.

Generated for Ana Getsadze - [email protected]


Bulking
(muscle building phase)

If you want to gain muscle, try eating around 500 calories more
than your TDEE and monitor your progress over time. Focus on
progressive overload in your workouts to get stronger and build
muscle. Make sure you’re getting enough protein to help your
muscles repair and grow, and don’t skip on carbs - they’re your main
source of energy for tough workouts and recovery. Healthy fats are
also important for keeping your body running well and supporting
hormones. Keep your calorie surplus controlled to avoid gaining too
much fat. Building muscle takes time, so trust the process and stick
with it!

When to Stop:
Stop bulking when your body fat gets too high or when you’ve
gained the muscles you wanted.

What’s Next:
After bulking, you can start cutting to lose fat and look leaner, or
switch to recomping if your body fat isn’t too high and you want to
lose fat more slowly while keeping your muscle.

Cutting
(losing fat while maintaining muscle)

If you want to lose fat, start by eating fewer calories than your TDEE.
A good way to begin is by cutting around 500 calories from your
maintenance level and monitoring your progress over time. Focus on
eating plenty of protein to keep your muscles strong while you’re in a
deficit. Make sure to include carbs for energy during your workouts
and recovery and don’t skip on healthy fats - they’re important for
keeping your hormones balanced and your body running smoothly.
Stick with strength training to hold onto your strength and muscle as
you lose fat.

When to Stop:
Stop cutting when you’ve reached your fat-loss goal, or if your
energy and workouts start to suffer.

What’s Next:
After cutting, transition to recomping or bulking based on your
goals. Increase calories slowly to avoid gaining fat too quickly.

The Role of Macro and Micronutrients

Macronutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, and fats - are essential


for your health and fitness. Getting the right balance of these
nutrients helps you reach your goals, whether it’s cutting, bulking,
maintaining, or body recomposition. Try to include all three macros
in every meal.

Micronutrients - vitamins and minerals - are just


as important as macros. They support your energy production,
recovery and overall health. Focus on eating a variety of whole
foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts and seeds to get all
the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Consult a professional for personalized advice.

THE THREE MACRONUTRIENTS

Proteins - For Muscle Building


(4 calories per gram)

Protein helps your body repair, build, and keep muscle. It also
keeps you full, which is important when cutting or recomping.

Examples: Chicken, fish, eggs, greek yogurt, tofu, beans.

Aim for 1.6-2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. This
can vary based on things like your age, gender, genetics, training
experience, workout intensity, how lean you are, your goals and
whether you’re eating in a calorie deficit or surplus.

Generated for Ana Getsadze - [email protected]


Fats: Essential for Hormones
(9 calories per gram)

Fats are important for hormones, energy, and overall health. Focus
on healthy fats like nuts, seeds and avocados, but also include
moderate amounts of saturated fats.

Examples: Avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, fatty fish.

Fats should make up 20–35% of your daily calories. It’s important


to tailor this to your individual needs or consult with a health
professional.

Generated for Ana Getsadze - [email protected]


Carbohydrates - Your Energy Source
(4 calories per gram)

Carbs give your body energy. Choose complex carbs, like whole
grains, legumes and vegetables, for lasting energy.

Examples: Oats, potatoes, quinoa, fruits, leafy greens, legumes.

Depending on how much protein and fat you consume, you can
allocate the remaining calories to carbs.

Why staying hydrated matters for your health

Water is more than just a way to satisfy your thirst - it’s what keeps
your body working effectively every day. If you’re active, staying
hydrated is even more important. It helps keep your body
temperature in check, your muscles working the way they should
and it speeds up recovery after workouts. It keeps your organs
healthy, removes toxins and helps you stay focused and energized.

For women, a good goal is drinking about 2-2.5 liters per day. If
you’re exercising or, for example, spending time in hot weather,
you’ll need even more fluids to make up for what you lose through
sweat.

Drinking enough water doesn’t just keep your body healthy - it also
helps with digestion, gives your skin a natural glow, and keeps your
mind clear. When you’re hydrated, you’ll feel more energized and
perform better in everything you do. So grab your water bottle, and
make hydration a habit - it’s one of the simplest ways to feel your
best every day!

What about coffee?

Coffee can be part of a healthy lifestyle, but moderation is key.


Keep it simple, and try switching things up by adding plant-based
options like soy or almond milk to your coffee, or replacing it with
herbal tea for a healthier balance!

Supplements

Supplements can help you reach your fitness and health goals,
especially if you’re active or trying to lose weight. Eating a
balanced diet is the most important part, but the right supplements
can make a difference and support your progress.

Here’s a quick guide to some important ones:

Protein Powder:
Helps your muscles recover and grow after workouts, making it
easier to maintain and build muscle. Additionally, it keeps you
feeling full for longer.

Electrolytes:
Keep you hydrated, help prevent cramps, and support muscle
recovery by replacing the minerals you lose when you sweat during
workouts.

Amino Acids/EAAs:
EAAs (Essential Amino Acids) help build and repair your muscles,
as your body can’t make them on its own. They also support
energy, reduce muscle breakdown, and improve recovery.

Magnesium:
Magnesium prevents cramps, relaxes your body for better sleep,
and supports energy and healthy heart function.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids:


Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, promote heart
health, and boost brain function.

Vitamin D:
Supports bone health, muscle recovery, and immune function,
especially in low-sunlight conditions.

Generated for Ana Getsadze - [email protected]


Iron:
Important for energy and preventing fatigue, especially for women
during their period or those with low iron levels.

L-Glutamine:
Helps muscles recover faster, reduces soreness, supports gut
health, and strengthens your immune system during periods of
stress.

Vitamin C:
Strengthens your immune system, helps your body heal,
and reduces inflammation.

Zinc:
Supports your immune system, helps your body recover,
and keeps hormones balanced.

Remember, it’s all about finding the right balance of supplements


that works best for you. If you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to talk to a
healthcare provider. They can help you figure out what your body
needs and create a plan that supports your goals while keeping
you healthy.
