Fat Loss Phases
Otherwise known as ‘cutting.’ A cutting phase is when
you are consuming fewer calories than you are burning
on a daily basis. This means you are in a calorie deficit.
The goal of being in a calorie deficit is to reduce body
fat mass/lose weight.
A successful cutting phase should be checking off the
boxes below:
Keeping the calorie deficit in a safe/sustainable place,
focusing on the 80/20 rule to avoid restriction
Above you will see weight loss data from a current
High protein diet client in the Body By KB Coaching Program
Adequate sleep and keeping stress low
Rest days in a training program

*IMPORTANT TO NOTE* there will be good & bad candidates to enter a cutting phase & having
the help of a coach to determine this is beneficial to figure out if you are in a healthy place to ‘cut’

Maintenance / Body
Recomposition Phases
‘Maintenance’ is when you are consuming the calories
that your body requires to maintain its current weight.
An equal energy balance is achieved, leading to
someone maintaining their weight.

Body recomposition is a bit different than a

maintenance phase as the goal is to increase lean
muscle mass while decreasing body fat.
Above you will see body recomposition data
from a current client in the Body By KB Coaching
Maintenance simply maintains ones weight, where body Program

recomposition has the goal of changing the way ones body

looks. The difference is influenced by the way one is
training/exercising.

she wanted’ during a phase with higher calories - ensuring she
continued to be strategic about her nutrition and eating food in
higher quantities

the bulking phase when she saw the number on the scale increase /
