Thanks for sharing, really interesting stuff. I'm trying to lose 16KG to get to race weight after an injury and so I am training in a pretty severe calorie deficit to try and still make my races possible next year. Training on ~1200cals a days is proving pretty tough, recovery is terrible and high intensity sessions are brutal, but it was my fault for getting this out of shape in the first place lol. I'm hitting my protein macros still, so hoping it doesn't break me if I am careful. Watching other people eat is as close as I get to food right now 🙂 Good luck next season!
Hey bud make sure you stay healthy there, there's no rush in loosing it quickly it's only November. If you're 500cals down a day it's plenty and you'll lose enough overtime without risking immune system weaknesses and injury. Also it can get mentally pretty dark as you mentioned and can lead to depression type symptoms which I experienced. Take care and be gentle to your body👍
@@MattiWeitz Hey, appreciate the reply. My normal RMR is only ~1800cals so its not as extreme maybe as it seems. I am also still not 100% after my calf tear so I am only doing about 10 hours a week and only 2 of those are high intensity. Hopefully as I can do more I will have more calories to work with. I'm feeling pretty good still, after 5 months of hopping around not being able to do much its just nice to be back up and moving. I'm being super careful and if anything over cautious, the last thing I need is to reinjure. Just building slowly and going to see what sort of shape I end up in.
Jesus no offence but this is incredibly foolish I almost don’t believe you it’s that dumb - a massive calorie deficit is bad after injury alone but training on 1200 cals per day with high intensity training !? It goes against everything you learn about training smart/ returning from injury. Cmon man
@@milomilo8212 Wow this was a while back. I can confirm it went pretty well in the end just took a while to adjust. A 600 calorie a day deficit isn't that extreme? I did stick generally to Zone 2 for 90% of my training hitting two harder sessions a week to keep my anaerobic system ticking over (both on the turbo, so, indoors and controlled). It wasn't much fun but it got the job done. I think it looks extreme to people with a higher RMR. I'm currently consuming an average of 2000 calories a day doing 14 hours training a week and I am maintaining my weight. I guess we are all built a little different. I'm only 5'10 so not exactly a giant like Matti lol.
Great you want to look into this. I don't have someone internationally so it's unfortunately trial and error, good marketing and BSc. Degrees etc. also don't mean they understand it. Key is that it doesn't say stuff like 3000cals avg. A day but more like 4500 (depending on daily volume of course) Thats the key tip, base metabolic rate (2000-3000 cals depending) + avg daily burned cals (with triathlon 2-3 sessions surely 2000cals ish) Good luck! 👋
How long do you give the breakfast to digest before you swim? (I did high fat low carb too.. 100g a day for 18 months before my first 70.3. It really let me down too.. and gave me awful food allergies. Be really careful anyone thinking of doing it)
Hope your body is back to normal after that, I avoid any extremes. Good question because that's a tricky one, need to get up at least 1.5hrs before with then preparing brekky, digesting. Things I couldn't do if I would work fulltime but if I don't I am already behind the curve. Happy training!
I made the mistake of changing it too lower calories overall on rest days, fact is the building will be rebuilding a lot on the rest days so keeping it the same is my go to and works well. Mostly we have one or two easier days anyways before heading back to quality, plus we often put other mental loading tasks (calorie draining still) on those days. So keeping the same diet intake is key I believe.
How many calories (and carb/protein spilt) would you recommend for a 112lb (~50kg) female college distance runner? I run about 60 miles a week + 4-5 hours of x-training and 2 strength sessions a week. I walk quite a bit to classes but not excessively. I want to fuel enough to run well but happy at the weight I’m at? I feel like I might not be eating enough, but not sure!
Hey Lauren, as much as I would love to spit out a number for you to rely on and help out, I don't feel comfortable doing that over the web without much knowledge about your height etc. etc. (and I am not a dietician) So for you to get a grip on it is the first choice obviously meeting a good dietician who knows athletes but if you are not keen on that find out your metabolic rate of what your body burns in calories daily for you to maintain weight (1200cals range probably withiut any sport that's just surviving and normal daily life without work load even) For rough calorie calculations apps like Training peaks are okay (when it uploads your HR in it) So just make sure you always hit that number of basic metabolic rate of yours (1200ish, rather calculate 1400 to be sure if don't have exact number by dietican measurement machine) plus the training calories burnt (with 60miles plus strength 2x a week that'll be a lot I'm sure!) Wouldn't be surprised if you need to eat 3000-4000cals a day, that's quite a lot of eating! Easy calorie helpers if getting in the amount of masses are: nuts, olive oil, avocado etc. plus cheat meals like cake, chips etc. as well If you have been low on cals and now hit the right numbers, your performance and health will skyrocket!! Let me know how it went!
@@MattiWeitz ah okay thank you! I am a bit off then. I estimate I’m at about 2600-3000 at the moment (I don’t track but know rough counts) so maybe worth trying a bit more and see what it does to my weight?
@@laurenmillyx Really forget about BMI, it's a really inaccurate system and out of date, doesn't include muscle mass etc. rather go for fat% especially as a woman making sure you are not too low due to hormones etc. and relation to bone density as you know I'm sure. I don't think you should steer your weight through eating per se, your body will automatically adapt and get fitter through training if you eat clean and enough. For women I am sure it helps to gain +3 kg or so after races or over winter so the body can recover best. Mark Allen a world champ triathlete said "you need to be fat in July to win Hawaii in October" - he meant he needs the reserves in order to get the hard training in which burns it all away. I had RED-S etc. it is horrific to live with, always rather eat a touch too much in calories than too little, long list of downsides for eating too little, very little downsidenfor eating too much (like 1-3kg extra) except bit extra weight when eating too much.
@@laurenmillyx Yes do it for a week and go to 3000 every day and see what it does to your sleep, overall feel, stress level, recover and overall feel in running and gym!
Without sport I am at 3 Liters I reckon, with training (biking I rehydrate during already, run only over 60 Min. ) and after swimming straight. Do 5 liters surely but havent't measured exactly, go with pee color and thirst..
My diet changed a lot since this video, check it out here:

Never had a problem with the calories IN part 😅
Thanks Matti, another insightful video mate. I think we’ve all been challenged by the “get calories in versus weight management” equation.
Excellent video! Love the “real talk”. My new fav channel
I loved this one
I lost so much in no time although I just go 60min 140watts 135 HR for 3 times a weak hahahah
You’re actually quite a cook man

Great video. Was nice to see what you actually take in.
finally someone with realistic meals and calories...
soo good! following!

@@codemonkeyalpha9057 Yes take it step by step, injury healing first - then volume with healthy balanced diet and weight will drop in no time👌

Good information in this video 👌 I assume you live in Finland because i saw Finnish food products 😃
Kyllä 🤓🇫🇮
Totally interesting. Thanks
cool video!
You gotta try orange juice with vanilla protein, tastes sooo good!
Haha a calorie bomb?
@@MattiWeitz 100%
Super geiles video
are you sponsored by the apple juice?
I wish going through like 7 liters a week😃
Funniest comment ever. I was watching this video and thinking “damn, this dude LOVES apple juice” 😂 😂
Wow It must be hard to eat that amount of food everyday 😂 But if that's the amount you burn, it's the amount you need yo eat!!! 💪💪
Great video! One question: Did you weigh the pasta cooked or pre cooking?
Thats always uncooked amount, so 250g pasta = raw.
Happy training 🙏
Who would you recommend for nutritional advice? My son is a new 70.3 pro and we need a good plan. Thanks

Does your diet change for rest and low volume/intensity days, or does it pretty much stay the same?
I made the mistake of changing it too lower calories overall on rest days, fact is the building will be rebuilding a lot on the rest days so keeping it the same is my go to and works well. Mostly we have one or two easier days anyways before heading back to quality, plus we often put other mental loading tasks (calorie draining still) on those days.

Vegetables?

So for you to get a grip on it is the first choice obviously meeting a good dietician who knows athletes but if you are not keen on that find out your metabolic rate of what your body burns in calories daily for you to maintain weight (1200cals range probably withiut any sport that's just surviving and normal daily life without work load even)
For rough calorie calculations apps like Training peaks are okay (when it uploads your HR in it)
So just make sure you always hit that number of basic metabolic rate of yours (1200ish, rather calculate 1400 to be sure if don't have exact number by dietican measurement machine) plus the training calories burnt (with 60miles plus strength 2x a week that'll be a lot I'm sure!)
