The Body Recomp Podcast is where smart lifters (like you) go to learn what actually works for losing fat and building muscle. No fads. No quick fixes. Just real, evidence-based strategies to get leaner, stronger, healthier... and more jacked, of course.
I’m your host, Kade Howell — a coach, father, husband, and wiener dog dad. After coaching hundreds of clients to transform through body recomposition, I’m here to share the training, nutrition, and lifestyle principles that cut through the noise and actually create lasting change.
Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy the show!

→ Apply for The Recomp Project | Ever finished a cut only to feel smaller, weaker, and not much leaner?
If so, stick around because today we're covering the five things that actually determine whether you come out of a cut looking lean and muscular... or just "skinny fat."
You'll learn:
- How to know if you're actually losing muscle when you cut
- How much protein you actually need to avoid muscle loss
- How to train to optimize performance and muscle retention/growth
- When you should be more aggressive with fat loss vs. a slower approach
- Cardio vs. diet vs. steps + when to adjust each for consistent fat loss while maintaining muscle
If you want to come out of your next cut leaner and still look like you lift, this episode will help you do exactly that. Enjoy!
