What is the primary role of a macro coach when a client experiences a significant life stressor that disrupts their nutrition adherence?
Answer: Collaboratively adjust targets and expectations to fit the client's current capacity
Flexible, collaborative adjustments during high-stress periods maintain the coaching relationship and prevent complete abandonment of healthy habits.
Which behavioral coaching model is MOST commonly applied in macro coaching to assess a client's readiness to change dietary habits?
Answer: The Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
The Transtheoretical Model helps coaches match interventions to a client's current stage—precontemplation through maintenance—for more effective adherence support.
A macro coaching client sets highly ambitious weekly targets but repeatedly fails to meet them, leading to frustration. What coaching approach best addresses this pattern?
Answer: Help the client set smaller, process-based goals that build confidence through consistent wins
Process-based micro-goals build self-efficacy through achievable wins, which is a key predictor of long-term dietary adherence.
In macro coaching, what does 'habit stacking' mean as an adherence strategy?
Answer: Linking a new nutrition behavior to an existing daily routine or habit
Habit stacking anchors new behaviors to established routines, reducing cognitive load and increasing the likelihood that the new habit is performed consistently.
A client reports feeling ashamed after a binge episode and is reluctant to log the food. How should a macro coach respond?
Answer: Encourage the client to log the episode without judgment to maintain data accuracy and self-awareness
Encouraging non-judgmental logging after a binge preserves data integrity and reinforces that all experiences, including setbacks, are part of the coaching process.
Which of the following BEST describes the concept of 'flexible dietary restraint' as it applies to macro coaching adherence outcomes?
Answer: Allowing for planned deviations within a broader adherence strategy to prevent feelings of deprivation
Flexible restraint reduces the psychological rigidity that drives binge-restrict cycles and is associated with better long-term adherence and psychological wellbeing.
