Quotable moments:

"We're not starting from ground zero, like this way of eating isn't some revelation that, you know, we created like anybody who has been in a high-level athlete, or has had a weight loss coach or any of the bodybuilding the last 30, 40 years, like they're aware of macros." - Benn Manning

"You're going to see other people start to bring this language and vernacular around macros to their own brands." - Benn Manning
