C.P.T, is a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vitamin Shoppe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mallory.aldred\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mallory Aldred<\/a> R.D, is a registered dietitian and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/whatmalloryeats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Mallory Eats<\/a>. <\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Power of Protein <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fitness, a cut refers to a period of an intentional but slight caloric deficit in effort to alter body composition\u2014or, more specifically, reduce fat mass while maintaining muscle. While bodybuilders are most notorious for fluctuating back and forth between a bulk and cut, as a CrossFit athlete, I, too, choose to cycle between these phases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because a bulk gives me an annual reprieve from strict calorie counting and macronutrient tracking, while also helping me get stronger. Meanwhile, a cut gives me an opportunity to prioritize my cardiovascular capacity and lean out alongside outdoor running and beach season. (Call me vain, but a compliment about my six pack <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does it for me.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/six-pack-abs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here\u2019s What It Really Takes To Get A Six-Pack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a cut, my caloric intake drops about 300 calories per day, from 2400 to 2100 daily, which I achieve by reducing fat and sugar intake. But the biggest difference in my diet between the two phases is how focused I am on protein intake. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a person who regularly squats, pulls, and presses heavy, protein matters all year round. After all, \u201cprotein makes up the structure of our muscle and connective tissue,\u201d explains Brittany Michels, R.D.N, M.S. C.P.T, a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vitamin Shoppe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, high protein intake can support the health and durability of our muscles\u2014especially when combined with exercise.

The reason? When in a calorie deficit, the body has less calories to use for energy. As such, the body can<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">start to break down fat and muscle tissue for energy. Eating adequate protein\u2014about 1 gram per pound of optimal body weight\u2014helps ensure that our bodies have the supplies they need to preserve muscle mass during a cut, recover from strength workouts, and even support additional strength gains, says registered dietitian <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mallory Aldred<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> R.D, founder of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Mallory Eats<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTypically, consuming whole food protein sources is the more satiating and nutritious way to meet your daily protein goals,\u201d says Aldred.

In addition to my preferred flavor, they have other dessert-inspired options, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/one-blueberry-cobbler-12-bar\/is-1082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blueberry Cobbler<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/one-birthday-cake-12-bars\/is-1071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birthday Cake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/one-hershey-cookies-creme-12-bar-s\/one-13102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cookies and Cream<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and, my second favorite, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/one-maple-glaze-doughnut-12-bar\/is-1081\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maple Glazed Donut<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite their super-sweet taste, across the board these bars contain less sugar, carbohydrates, and fat, plus significantly more protein and fiber than the classic desserts they were inspired by. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the ONE Brand Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Lovers protein bar I currently nosh on nightly compared to the Reese\u2019s Fast Break Bar I\u2019d formerly finish off.
