Eat More to Get Leaner: Why the Scale Is Lying to You on a GLP
CICO is real. I’m not here to argue thermodynamics. The calories you take in and the calories you burn off are going to determine how much adipose tissue you carry. If you’re in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight.
But what that lost weight is made of is up to you. It’s determined by your macros. If your protein is too low, you are going to lose muscle right alongside the fat, and that is the opposite of what most of you actually want.
So let’s be clear about who this is for. If the number on the scale is the thing you care about, if you want to hit a specific weight and you don’t care about your measurements or how you look in the mirror, this post is not for you and you can stop reading.
The exception is if you’re legitimately prepping for a bodybuilding stage or making a weight class for a fight or some other sport classed by weight. There is a place for eating very low calories. It just isn’t here. This is about recomposition: more muscle, less fat, and better performance.
🚨 THE SCALE IS A LIAR
I took a walk the other day at noon here in Scottsdale and I "lost" 8 pounds. The scale told me so. It was water. I’ve got the salt stains on my CamelBak to prove how much came out of me: right at a gallon. That wasn’t weight loss. That was dehydration with steps.
Weight loss is a term people get fixated on. They’re chasing a specific number on a piece of glass on the bathroom floor. But if you’re not getting on a stage and you’re not making a weight class, does it actually matter what that number says?
A woman who wants to be a size 0 at 100 pounds versus a size 0 at 130 pounds: I’d submit the 130 pound version is far healthier. Controlling for height, she’s carrying a lot more muscle, which means better metabolic outcomes for the long haul. And if she’s holding that muscle, she’s almost certainly in the gym with some regularity, which keeps her bones strong. That matters more than people want to admit, especially for women, because when you’re 70-something and you go down the stairs, you want to bounce. You don’t want to break.
🪨 WHERE GLPs CHANGE THE GAME
When you run a GLP, particularly Retatrutide, you get heightened nutrient partitioning, improved insulin sensitivity, and a better lipid picture. Reta is king here on all three counts. Tirzepatide comes in second for partitioning, but milligram for milligram Tirz seems to be the better tool for turning the food noise off. And, they can be used together quite effectively.
The food noise going quiet is exactly where the trouble starts. Your appetite fails and it becomes a genuine struggle to get in enough nutrients to hold your lean mass while you keep the fat loss going.
So you undereat. Then your metabolism downregulates. Your total daily energy expenditure and your basal metabolic rate both drop, and now the same macro count that was working for you a month or two ago isn’t moving the needle, you have torpedoed your metabolism, and now your weight loss has stalled.
✅ MACRO TIMING IS A FOUNDATIONAL LEVER
My first suggestion for anyone running one of these compounds: prioritize a big carbohydrate intake early in the morning with some protein alongside it, and keep the fat macros low. A good starting point is 100g of carbs and 50 to 60g of protein to open the day.
Think about how the body actually shuttles and burns fuel. Fat and carbohydrates together are terrible for your metabolism and your energy output. When was the last time you ate a stack of donuts and felt energized? Now contrast that with a meal of nothing but rice and lean meat. Carbohydrates and protein forward: fat kept out of the equation until later in the day. That ramps the metabolism up, lets you eat more, shuttles nutrients where they need to go, and supports the lean tissue retention you’re after on a cut.
The second benefit is energy: Your libido stays high, your focus stays up, brain fog 🧠 doesn’t move in, and you can attack the day with some vigor instead of slogging through it on fumes and pure willpower.
The days of a man eating 1600 calories a day on a cut, or a woman eating 1000, are behind us, unless you specifically want scale weight and the saggy-bag-of-skin look that comes with it. Look at all the Hollywood actors who should have excellent trainers in their corner and instead look like bony bags of skin. Somebody clearly doesn’t know what they’re doing.
So yes, calories in and calories out is the rule. But if you keep the metabolism running hot with proper macro timing, you can eat more calories and recomposition at the same time, lose fat, and build muscle simultaneously.
Ten years ago, even five, the field wasn’t convinced this was possible. There are still coaches and nutritionists who will tell you that you cannot lose fat and add muscle at the same time. With the tools we have now, that’s a flat out lie. Coaches and nutritionists and everyone involved in this space giving out counsel is duty bound to keep up with the state of the art.
This isn’t even that hard. Use your calories. Use your food with intent. Keep the metabolism high, and it will burn through those calories, give you the focus to get through your day and your training, and leave you more satiated while you do it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is only on of the kinds of things I work through with clients one on one, in detail and in context. Not generic macro splits pulled off a forum, but a plan built around your labs, your symptoms, your training, and what you’re actually trying to accomplish. Decades of work across HRT, anti-aging, nutrition, and strength training, all pointed at your specific situation, including the parts that the “normal” reference ranges quietly miss.
We build your roadmap together. Macro timing, GLP selection and dosing, recovery, cardio, supplements, peptides, all of it calibrated to you and recalibrated as you change.
Ready to move beyond the noise? I’m currently accepting new clients for in-depth consultations.

There is no “perfect” for Dads to be able to stay in shape
No perfect time to go to the gym
No perfect routine
No perfect days off or on
No perfect diet
They live under constant controlled chaos
Work
Wife
Kids
School activities
Sports
Family obligations
They have no time to call their own
They’re tired
They adjust
They figure it out
Dads who are in shape can’t wait for perfect
They find the time
The energy
Every day
Early
Late
In between
There is no perfect
But they do it anyway

RETA has been amazing.
Have sustained 2mg/week with intermittent addition of low dose cagri (.5mg)
Body fat in check and mass/strength does not appear to be deteriorating
Energy fine with some occasional DMAA in early AM
Way better mood an no anhedonia experienced with prior research on 4mg/week
Thanks to REAL products from ER and @trinity2pointO
