What coaches agree on

  • Fat loss ultimately comes from sustaining a calorie deficit - the specific diet style, food type, or meal timing you choose mainly affects how easy that deficit is to stick to, not whether it works.
  • Eat roughly 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight (about 1.6 to 2.2 g/kg) while dieting - it preserves your muscle and keeps hunger in check during a deficit.
Show more
  • Aim for a moderate rate of loss, around 0.5 to 1% of bodyweight per week, rather than crash dieting - losing faster tends to cost more muscle and is harder to sustain.

Basic Principles for Fat Loss | Nutrition for Fat Loss- Lecture 1

Reviewer Credible, in-depth fat-loss fundamentals from an RP lecture - frames the basics properly.

Moderator Sub-skill Fat-loss nutrition (Gym men). Dead on - RP lecture one purely on nutrition for fat loss: calorie balance, FSR vs FBR, hypocaloric diet, protein to spare muscle, NEAT, consistency (frequency and magnitude), diet duration and time courses. It is lecture-format and a bit broad/intro, otherwise a clean 2.

Moderator Make protein the core of every meal: about 20 g if you weigh 100-150 lb, 40 g at 150-225 lb and 60 g at 225-300 lb, then fit carbs and fats around it with calorie tracking. Right on fat-loss nutrition.

If I Wanted to Lose Belly Fat By Summer, I'd Do This

Reviewer Strong fat-loss concepts taught well, just wrapped in app marketing.

Reviewer Explains the actual mechanism well and lands on sane, practical advice — not fear-mongering.

Moderator Squarely about how alcohol affects fat loss specifically — metabolic prioritization of alcohol, fat oxidation blunting, appetite effects. It's a narrower slice of fat-loss nutrition (one variable) rather than the whole picture, hence not a full +2.

What if everything you thought you knew about diet and ...

Reviewer Credible voice and a couple of solid concrete points, but most of what's teased here isn't actually answered.

Intermediate
TRAINING FASTED BURNS MORE BODY FAT BUT ...

Reviewer Clear, accurate answer to a question every cutter asks: fasted training doesn't beat eating the same total food.

Moderator Answers whether training fasted burns more body fat. On the same diet, the fasted trainee burns more fat during the session but the fed trainee burns it back later in the day, so it evens out. That's meal timing within fat-loss nutrition: one narrow question, squarely on it.

2.4

How To Conquer The 4 HUGE Fat Loss Challenges

2.1
Building Muscle in a Calorie Deficit
Beginner
Building Muscle in a Calorie Deficit

Reviewer Clear, accurate answer to a question everyone asks: enough protein plus lifting builds muscle, and you do not need a big surplus. No protein numbers or deficit size, so it is the idea, not the plan.

Moderator A dietitian answers whether you can build muscle in a calorie deficit: yes, because muscle gain is driven by enough protein and a training stimulus, while fat gain is driven by energy intake, so you do not need a big surplus. Covers protein and deficit, so it sits within fat-loss nutrition, though the focus is muscle.

Men Vs Women: The Best Way To Lose Fat (KEY DIFFERENCES)

Reviewer Good citations, useful nutrition nuance, but it's a fairly small slice of the whole video.

The best fat loss rules for guys over 30! Getting in shape is ...

Moderator Six fat-loss rules for men over 30: 20,000 steps a day, track calories and macros, one gram of protein per pound of body weight, stop drinking your calories, four full-body sessions a week, and at least seven hours of sleep. Half are about eating, so it covers fat-loss nutrition among other things.

Reviewer The food rules are the right ones (track intake, protein around 1 g per pound, stop drinking calories), but it is a 12-second list with no how, and 20,000 steps is a big ask for most.

1.5

Beginner
Burning calories and burning fat are not the same thing. ...

Reviewer Right on the core point: a calorie deficit is what shrinks fat, not burning calories through cardio. It is 23 seconds with no how-to.

Moderator Makes the point that burning calories and burning fat cells are not the same thing: a calorie deficit is what shrinks fat cells, and chasing calorie burn with cardio is not the answer. The caption adds enough protein and structured meals. Touches the core of fat-loss nutrition, but mostly it is about the scale and diet culture.

Ranking Fat Loss Methods: From Best to Worst (What ...

Reviewer Fair verdicts: crash dieting costs muscle, fat burners are a waste of money, whole foods plus lifting is the best combination. But it is a quick banter ranking with no numbers or plan.

Moderator Tier-list ranking of fat-loss methods: running, crash dieting, keto or low carb, fat-burner supplements, intermittent fasting, and whole foods plus strength training. Most of it is about eating strategy, so it is relevant to fat-loss nutrition but it is not a how-to.

GYM CLASS: “Fat Shuffling for Fat Loss ...

Moderator A macro-manipulation protocol called 'fat shuffling': protein and carbs each set at roughly 0.8-1 g per pound of lean mass, then step fat down 20 g at a time while carbs go up 20 g, then carb-cycle low and high days, with about 100 g of carbs from fruit and most carbs at breakfast and around training. It is nutrition for fat loss, but pitched at a niche (poor insulin sensitivity, gut issues), not general fat loss.

Reviewer The numbers are laid out step by step, but the big claims (improves insulin sensitivity, heals the gut) are the coach's own theory with no evidence given. Treat it as one coach's experiment, not a standard fat-loss method.
