Macronutrient Options: Setting Yourself Up For Success
One of the first questions our online training clients ask is “What are my macros?” Macronutrient numbers are a red-hot fitness discussion item and have been for the last few years. Everywhere you turn, someone is talking about their “macros” and is trying to tweak his/her numbers to optimize their hard-earned gains. “Macros” are short […]
Macro Tricks: The IIFYM Dilemma – The Fat In The Pan
We’ve all been there before. We’re doing the best we can………counting our macros diligently………..and then it happens. We purchase a food without a label. Oh, boy. So, what do we do?

Macro Tricks: The 3-For-1

Intermittent Fasting and Leangains Are NOT Magic!
It’s funny how things evolve. When I first began experimenting with various eating and fasting protocols, the changes were small at first. I began by jumping full-bore into the carbophobic-Atkins loving, bacon-buffet, carbs will kill you, William Davis-worshipping crowd. Did avoiding carbs at all costs work? Yessir. Lost a good amount of weight. I thought […]
IIFYM vs. “Clean Eating” – A Regular Guy’s Thoughts
You may notice a theme in most of my posts. Weightloss. It’s mainly what I’ve been focusing on. This is for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, there are very, very few people out there who are truly at a place, physically, where they don’t want to lose any more weight. Perhaps the chronically […]
