meet the coach
I`m a Health and Fitness Coach who always loved fitness but as im getting older i have ditched the cardio for weight training and in 2024 did my first bodybuilding competition.
After years struggling with my body image, having had an eating disorder and therefore struggling with food i found weight training helped me to embrace the parts of my body i didn't like as well as finding a new love for food.
Nutrition is something we often forget as women in our pursuit for the perfect body we go on low calorie diets and completely cut our carbs. I did all of this but now u eat a balanced diet of carbs, proteins and fats to help me to grow and maintain my muscle as well as making me stronger mentally and physically with optimum nutrition.
Now in my 40`s having had 2 children i am working on building muscle for longevity, to strengthen my bones and for overall health. Also having to deal with menopause and the loss of oestrogen weight training has been an essential to help me maintain and build muscle strength, hormonal balance and preventing me from putting on lots of weight.
I created Moodfit to help empower women to take back their bodies building a strong body and mind as they battle through Motherhood and beyond.
Nutrition
Nutrition is a tricky one to get right. We all need the same nutrients but different elements will influence what carbs, proteins and fats you need. Your activity is one element so if you are more active you will require more carbs for energy for your workout and protein for muscle strength.
Another element will be your age and height as well as whether you are male or female.
The final element will be your dietary choices, so if you are vegan or vegetarian you may not get all of the nutrients you need and may need to supplement or if you are undereating you will also need to adjust your diet to increase your carbs, fats and proteins for a healthy mind and body.

How Much Protein should i eat ?
How much protein should i eat?
Once you know how many calories you consume, multiply that number by 10% and 35% to get your range. For example, a person who consumes 2,000 calories per day would need to consume 200 to 700 calories daily from protein.
You can target a specific number of protein grams per day as an alternative to the percentage approach. A straightforward way to get a range of protein grams per day is to translate the percent range into a specific protein gram range.
How to Calculate Grams of Protein Per Day
Each gram of protein contains four calories. Divide the two calorie range numbers by four. For example, someone who eats 2,000 calories per day should consume 200 to 700 calories from protein, or 50 to 175 grams of protein.
Based on Weight and Activity
Other ways to get a more specific protein goal may consider lean muscle mass and/or physical activity level.
The average adult needs a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.2 One kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, so a person who weighs 165 pounds, or 75 kg, would need about 60 grams of protein per day.
