Welcome back to the JordanSci mini podcast. Thank you so much for listening. In this episode, I speak with Danielle and she asks two really good questions.

The first one being whether or not you should schedule in refeeds or higher calorie days into your calorie deficit and if you should, how often and when.

The second question being whether or not you should have a limit on exercise during your calorie deficit and or if you should recalculate your calorie deficit as you go along.

Danielle, thank you so much for coming on. I hope you enjoy the episode. If you do, please leave a five star review. They help a lot. So thank you to huge thank you to everyone who's done that already. If you have any questions, let me know. Talk to you soon.

Alright, Danielle. So now we have to pretend like we didn't just say hi before we started recording.

Cool. Go ahead.

Thank you for coming on. I really appreciate it.

It's my pleasure, honestly.

So do me a favor just give me some context. Tell me about yourself. I know you said you're from Australia, but just give me some context and we'll just jump right into discussion.

Awesome. So I'm 29. I'm from Australia. I'm a registered nurse and I'm now back at unifil time. I'm studying medicine to become a doctor. So my uni is quite demanding.

What kind of doctor? I don't know yet. Even though I've been a nurse for a few years now, I think I still need a bit more exposure as to what I would enjoy and what will sit me best.

So I'm not sure yet, but I love that. I've got many, many years of training. Yeah, many years of training coming up. So I'll figure it out.

I also used to be a professional dancer. So I, I guess I've had ups and downs with my body and with exercise and with food, especially when I stopped dancing and I started studying.

That was like a really hard transition for me, obviously. And so my weight has fluctuated quite dramatically.

And yeah, in the last 12 months, I felt like I finally kind of got on top of figuring out what works best for me.

And I think if anything, just feeling happy within my body. And yeah, so that's the kind of low down on who I am.

I love it. Thank you. So I know you had some questions you wanted to go over and some things you wanted to discuss. So whatever you want to talk about, I'm happy to discuss.

Groovy. Cool. Well, I, I'll give you a bit more context about kind of, I guess the journey I've been on the last 12 to 18 months.

That would be amazing. Please.

Well, well, as I said, like I've had a couple of lifestyle changes.

I've gone from being professional dancer, like not actually exercising at the gym, but being incredibly physically active, you know, six, seven days a week.

And I was doing that from when I was a kid, basically, and not really having to think about food or certainly not being educated around food choices and chloric intake, anything like that.
