Nutritional Series 1 [MACROS]

The Optimal Alpha Podcast: Fitness, Fat Loss and MENtorship for the Modern Man

If we’re talking big-picture fitness, we need to talk macros. Macronutrients are the nutrients that we need for energy: fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Host Andy Naylor breaks it all down for us in the Fundamentals of Nutrition, Part 2. How protein is broken into amino acids, and how we can break down our diet to get into a caloric deficit and lose some weight. It’s all about keeping things simple because the simpler you keep something, the greater your chance of repeating it. Andy doesn’t mess about as he educates, entertains, and inspires.

To celebrate the launch of the Optimal Alpha Podcast, Andy is hosting a giveaway contest where you can be one of the 2 lucky winners who will win exclusive access to 3-months of FREE 1:1 online coaching. Enter the Contest here!
