When is the Best Time to Eat Dinner for Weight Loss? -- Rusty Moore
The young trainer makes one crucial mistake:
He thinks his job is to be a science teacher.
When a client asks a question, the young trainer diligently strives to provide up an up to date analysis of the literature with 16 caveats and differing opinions. Once the trainer matures, he realizes that his job isn't to copy and paste PubMed jargon. His job is to get his clients results. Hence, he masters the art of providing clear instructions with simple explanations -- so that his clients confidently take action.
The young trainer tells his client "eat dinner anytime you want, because total calories are all that matter". He's not wrong, but he isn't right either.
The mature trainer dives deeper into his client's daily life, to learn how meal timing affects this particular person's habits. Then, he provides a clear instruction that will best help this client progress.
