Episode notes

We often see people training really hard in the gym, but who are lost when managing their nutrition. Training can be very simple and dialed in, but the nutrition aspect can be very daunting due to the misinformation and misclassification of foods marketed to us.

Today, we are diving into nutrition, including how you can calculate your macros, if you should avoid carbs, how nutrition affects muscle growth, and so much more! If you have been crushing your training, but struggling with hitting your physique goals—this may be the episode for you!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
