Which coaching technique involves asking a client to describe their ideal day of eating to uncover lifestyle habits and food preferences?
Answer: Discovery questioning
Discovery questioning is used to gather detailed personal context, including lifestyle habits and food preferences, to inform individualized macro plans.
A macro coach applies a 'reverse diet' strategy for a client recovering from a long-term caloric deficit. What is the primary goal of this approach?
Answer: Gradually increasing caloric intake to restore metabolic function
A reverse diet gradually increases calories to repair metabolic adaptation and hormonal balance without excessive fat gain.
When a client's protein target is 180g/day but they consistently hit only 120g, which coaching methodology is MOST appropriate first?
Answer: Identify and address adherence barriers before changing targets
Identifying adherence barriers first ensures interventions are evidence-based and client-centered rather than arbitrary target adjustments.
In macro coaching, what does the term 'flexible dieting' fundamentally mean?
Answer: Hitting daily macronutrient targets using any combination of foods
Flexible dieting means meeting prescribed macronutrient targets regardless of specific food choices, promoting dietary adherence and sustainability.
A coach is working with a competitive powerlifter in an off-season phase. Which macronutrient periodization strategy is MOST aligned with maximizing muscle hypertrophy?
Answer: Caloric surplus with high protein and moderate-to-high carbohydrates
A caloric surplus with high protein and adequate carbohydrates supports muscle protein synthesis and fuels high-intensity training sessions.
Which behavior change model do macro coaches most commonly use to assess a client's readiness to track macros consistently?
Answer: The Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
The Transtheoretical Model identifies stages such as precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance to tailor coaching interventions to client readiness.
