1. You’re not eating enough. No, I’m not joking. Whether you’re looking for fat-loss, muscle-gain, or performance gains one of the biggest reasons people don’t see results is they aren’t eating enough. Especially if they’ve been through years of yo-yo dieting (you know: lose it, gain it back, lose it, gain it back etc). How can you fix this? Keep reading!
2. You have no idea how much you’re eating. If you’ve never tracked your food, you probably don’t have any idea how many calories you’re consuming much less how much protein, fat, and carbs.
3. You’re not eating enough protein. The bare minimum recommended protein intake is .4g per pound of body weight. If you weigh 150lbs that’s 54g of protein per day. If you want to lose fat and/or build muscle, you need a lot more. More like 1g per pound of body weight. Do you know how much protein you’re eating? (hint: “a lot” is not a specific enough amount)
How can you fix these things? Simple. Track your food. It won’t be easy at first, but it’s the only way to really know how much you’re eating. If you don’t know how much you’re eating you can’t make the changes you might need to finally see results in the gym.
If you need help figuring out how to do this, ask one of your coaches. They can help you with the basics. Sasquatch also offers nutrition coaching if you’re looking for more in-depth help. But, no matter what, it all starts with tracking.

Let’s cut through the noise: if you’re trying to lose fat and all you’re doing is cardio, you’re making it way harder than it needs to be.We’re not saying cardio is bad. Walking, biking, sweating it out on the treadmill — that’s all great. But if your main goal is to burn fat, look toned, and actually feel stronger, you’ve gotta start lifting some heavy stuff.
