\u201cIsn\u2019t everyone counting down until their next meal?\u201d\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
\u201cBeing sore is a sign I\u2019m doing something right! No pain no gain!\u201d\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
\u201cI just have a big appetite – if I\u2019m not careful, I\u2019ll eat the entire contents of the pantry.\u201d\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
\u201cWait, you don\u2019t feel like napping after working out? That\u2019s odd!\u201d\u2063\u2063<\/p>

Are you ignoring your body\u2019s signs and signals that it needs more fuel?\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> hunger – like can\u2019t be trusted with XYZ in the house\u2063
>> cravings – intense, predictable, need a fix after dinner cravings\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> recovery – need an afternoon nap, generally tired\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> soreness – takes me a while to loosen up, tender to the touch sore\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> agitation – snap at the kids grouchy, need a snack grumpy\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> constipation – need coffee + water + lots of vegetables + a workout (and nothing less!) to be regular\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> gym plateaus – don\u2019t know what 100% feels like anymore, going through motions\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> sleep – annoyingly can\u2019t fall asleep or stay asleep \u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> problematic periods – don\u2019t know what you\u2019re gonna get each cycle \u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
>> cold – sweaters, space heaters, oh my!\u2063
\u2063\u2063
And you might feel like:\u2063\u2063
you\u2019re not training hard enough.\u2063\u2063
you\u2019re not a \u201creal athlete\u201d.\u2063\u2063
you\u2019re eating enough already.\u2063\u2063
you\u2019re just different than everyone else.\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063
LIES. all lies. \u2063\u2063

Chica, your body will let you know you need to eat more but you gotta be paying attention. \u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
Ask yourself: are you enduring all those symptoms (and more!) because you fear an arbitrary calorie goal? Would you rather tank your thyroid hormone, shut down your sex hormones, raise your adrenal stress hormones like cortisol because XXXX recommended calories \u201cfeels like\u201d too much for you? \u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063
Sometimes all that\u2019s standing in the way of you resolving all those issues AND making for a leaner, stronger you is a matter of 200-500 calories more per day. So basically you could say that a sandwich is holding you back. Off to make myself a PB&J, how bout you?\u2063\u2063<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
