About Claire
Claire Donovan holds an MSc in Obesity & Weight Management and is a Certified Weight Loss Specialist (CWS) with over seven years of experience helping people achieve and sustain meaningful fat loss.
Her MSc research focused on caloric restriction and metabolic adaptation — the mechanisms behind why diets stop working and how to counter them. That academic grounding, combined with her own personal 25kg transformation, gives Claire a uniquely complete perspective: she understands both the physiology and the psychology of lasting change.
At MyMacroFit, Claire writes all weight loss strategy content — calorie deficit science, meal planning, plateau troubleshooting, and the long-game thinking that separates people who succeed from those who cycle through diets indefinitely. Her approach is systematic and compassionate in equal measure.
Claire has coached over 500 clients individually, with a particular speciality in clients who have repeatedly tried and failed conventional approaches. Her philosophy: the best diet is the one you can sustain, and the best deficit is a modest one held consistently.
