This is why the calorie deficit isn’t working for you.
Most people in a deficit are eating the right number of calories but the wrong type — and wondering why they’re still hungry, exhausted, and the scales aren’t moving.
Here’s what 1,500 calories looks like when you eat for fat loss and body composition…
Here’s what 1,500 calories looks like when you eat for fat loss and body composition:
✅ 300g egg whites — 33g protein
✅ 500g 0% Greek yogurt — 50g protein
✅ 170g lean beef mince — 36g protein
✅ 130g oats — slow-release energy
✅ Vegetables, berries, olive oil
→ 146g protein. High volume. You’ll actually feel full.
Now compare that to a Dairy Milk bar, Walkers crisps, a Coke, and a cookie. Gone in 10 minutes. Zero protein. Hungry again within the hour.
Same calories. Completely different impact on your hunger, your energy, your muscle, and your results.
This is what intelligent nutrition coaching looks like in practice — and it’s exactly what we build for every client at Blueprint in North London.
The problem was never your willpower. It was never eating enough of the right food.
