About this episode

Why Am I Gaining Weight Even Though I'm Eating Healthy?

Think you're eating healthy but the scale keeps going up? You're not alone. In this episode, Robyn explains one of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition: healthy eating and fat loss aren't the same thing. While nutritious foods like avocados, nuts, olive oil, smoothies, granola, and protein bars offer incredible health benefits, they still contain calories. A lot of them. Fat loss ultimately depends on maintaining a calorie deficit, not simply choosing "healthy" foods. You'll also learn why meal planning and repeating simple, high-protein meals reduce decision fatigue, improve consistency, and make body recomposition dramatically easier. If you've ever felt frustrated because you're "doing everything right" but not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why and what to do instead.
