Hey Coach,
You mentionned specifically that you don�´t know anyone who hasn�´t leaned out while training heavy and doing loaded carries. But this will mean that the person creates a kcal deficit?!
Would you base the first calculation for the diet on the TDEE incl. training (20min + 3 min loaded carries) or for convinience on the resting metabolic rate (10-11 kcal/lb) and not considering the training kcals.
I tried already too often to do the calculations right and find the sweet spot by myself - however I like the trainer to tell me 
and then stick to the plan.

Finding the proper caloric intake for a person takes some time. The daily energy expenditure is only a very general place to start. I often have to tinker and adjust the diet 3-5 times before finding what’s perfect for a person. Keep in mind that it’s not just about burning calories and creating a deficit. The activity itself can boost insulin sensitivity (for example) which will favor a positive body recomposition; if you build some muscle it also requires some calories to build the muscle and maintain it. Etc. Two people can have similar specs and training regimen and require a different caloric intake.

CT,
in your experience, do you believe it possible for someone to let leaner (actually loose fat) whilst eating enough to maintain/grow muscle (of course i mean providing they are training heavy and doing loaded carries or kb swings)
Thanks for this quick answer on the weekend!

Yes, definitely. That’s were an optimal peri-workout protocol can come into play. It allows you to have nutrients in the body at the proper time to fuel muscle recovery and growth while being able to reduce calories elsewhere.
