Discrepancy development, a core motivational interviewing technique, highlights the difference between current behavior and stated goals to evoke intrinsic motivation for change.
A macro coach notices a client repeatedly misses their evening meal prep. Which technique best addresses this habitual barrier?
Answer: Implementation intentions
Implementation intentions use 'if-then' planning to link a specific cue (e.g., arriving home) with the desired behavior, directly addressing habitual barriers like missed meal prep.
What does 'change talk' refer to in the context of motivational interviewing for macro coaching?
Answer: Client statements favoring movement toward change
Change talk consists of client-generated statements expressing desire, ability, reasons, or commitment to change, which predict successful behavior modification.
Which stage of the Transtheoretical Model describes a client who acknowledges needing to change their eating habits but has not yet made any concrete plans?

A client says, 'I know I should track macros, but it feels overwhelming.' Which cognitive-behavioral technique should a macro coach use first?
Answer: Cognitive reframing
Cognitive reframing helps the client examine and restructure the belief that tracking is overwhelming, replacing it with a more manageable perspective.
Which principle underlies the use of 'small wins' in behavior change coaching?
