Ep. 361 Q&A - How Quickly Can You Lose Muscle? What Do We Eat While In a Deficit? How to Build Momentum Without Starting Over Every Monday? Structure vs. Flexibility - The Coaches Roundtable

Summary

In this Q&A episode, Chase and Chris are back at it after a fun (and exhausting) weekend to answer listener-submitted questions about fitness, nutrition, and real-life health habits.

They kick things off by sharing stories from their trips — from epic music festivals to hilarious jalapeño-filled nachos at 3 a.m. — and talk about how they ease back into their routines after time off.

Then they dive into your questions, including:

How long does it really take to lose muscle if you skip the gym?
What do coaches like Chase and Chris eat when they're in a calorie deficit?
How to balance structure and flexibility without losing your mind
And how to finally stop starting over every Monday and build momentum for real

Whether you're looking for simple meal ideas or struggling to stay consistent, this episode is full of practical tips, real talk, and a few good laughs.
