It depends on the source of their hunger/cravings. Following the Coaches’ Troubleshooting Guide, if activity has increased and the client isn’t matching their “energy out” with enough calories “energy in”, then the coach may recommend increasing 1 to 2 servings of fat each day. However, if activity hasn’t changed much and hunger and cravings set in, the Troubleshooting Guide may reveal that the client is eating their suggested servings of protein each day, but their protein choices are lower in grams of protein (for example, vegetarians who aren’t eating meat or fish, which have higher protein per portion size). In this instance, the coach may increase the client’s servings of protein to accommodate. Also, if the client is going longer than 4 hours between a meals or snacks which can also be causing the hunger and cravings, then recommending an additional serving of protein in the form of another snack to “bridge” satiety would also be a good recommendation!
