If your goal is weight maintenance and improving body composition, portion control and balanced meals are key. Planning ahead or tracking your intake helps ensure you’re getting the right balance of nutrients to maintain weight, support muscle, and reduce body fat.

Aim to eat close to your calorie maintenance level, adjusting slightly based on how your body responds to training and lifestyle. Prioritise nutrient-dense foods to recover well and build lean muscle effectively.

Follow these principles to stay on track:

  • Fill half your plate with vegetables: High in fibre and nutrients, they support fullness and overall health.

  • Include a lean protein: Protein keeps you satisfied and aids muscle repair. Aim for a palm-sized portion.

  • Choose high-quality carbs: Opt for whole grains, sweet potatoes, and legumes for steady energy and performance. A portion about the size of your fist is a good guide.

  • Use healthy fats in moderation: Include sources like avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds. Stick to small portions to support hormone balance without excess calories.

Consistency with these habits, alongside regular strength training, will help you maintain weight while gradually improving body composition.
