Collective Minds

In this weeks episode, Brittany and Ashley dive into a little bit of nutrition. There is a lot of controversy around tracking your macros and the different ways to approach the nutrition side of training. Tune in as they help explain the importance of building a foundation with tracking, as they both have in their own fitness journeys, to get more of an understanding of your body and the maintenance calories you need to maintain your current healthy weight. They also talk about being in a surplus, a deficit and the alternative; intuitive eating. 

*Disclaimer: Neither Ashley or Brittany are professional nutritionists, this is only their advice to you from their own personal understanding and experiences*
