Cognitive Load
Cognitive load refers to the total amount of mental effort being used in working memory at any given time, including decision-making, planning, and emotional processing. High cognitive load from work, caregiving, or information overload can drain willpower and make it harder to stick to nutrition and training habits.

Managing cognitive load—through routines, automation, and deliberate rest—is as important as managing physical training volume.
