Frequently Asked Questions
Is mat pilates nutrition different from reformer?
Yes. Mat pilates is lower intensity (MET 3.0 vs 4.0-5.0), so you need fewer calories and slightly less protein. The AI adjusts all macros based on your specific practice type.
What should I eat before mat pilates?
A light snack 30-60 minutes before: a banana, a handful of nuts, or a small smoothie. Mat work requires a lighter stomach than reformer training.
Can mat pilates help me lose weight?
Absolutely! Combined with the right calorie deficit, mat pilates burns 150-250 calories per session and builds lean muscle that boosts your metabolism.
Do I need supplements for mat pilates?
Most mat practitioners can get everything they need from whole foods. The AI prioritizes food-first nutrition, but may suggest magnesium or omega-3s if your diet is lacking.
