Beyond The Mirror

In today's episode, I'll break down exactly what you need to know about protein, carbs and fats so that you can get results.

When starting out your nutrition journey, what should you focus on first? With so much information out there, does it matter when you eat? Are supplements important? What about food quality? These are all answered in today's show.

• 37:25; more detail about ‘carb-loading’

When losing weight we usually just focus on scale weight. Likewise, with muscle gain, we don't really know what to track. What other measures apart from scale, body-measurements and body fat can we track?

Tracking progress using just the scale is pointless, how do we use body measurements to track accurately?

We all have hang ups over our body-fat percentage and why? Because of social media thinking we need to. We're all obsessed about our body-fat percentage, but is it even relevant? And how do we measure it?

Our bodyweights fluctuate for many different reasons. Today I go through why this is and how you can track yours properly to make sure you're making progress towards your goals.

Today I bring you the conversation I had with Simon Mitchell, Charlotte Fisher, Tim Reid and Nick Whiteman all-around sports performance.

Join us as we discuss nutrition, supplements, training and more to maximise sports performance.
