Today I'm sitting down with Greg Nuckols to talk about lifting, MacroFactor, and science. You'll learn what he's been up to lately, his take on lifting and life, and all things MacroFactor. We'll also explore how to be consistent and maybe even enjoy tracking your nutrition, incorporating scientific research into your health and fitness routine, and other words of wisdom.

Greg Nuckols lifts weights, writes about lifting weights, and coaches people who want to get better at lifting weights.

With an MA in Exercise and Sports Science and three all-time powerlifting world records, he co-hosts the Stronger by Science Podcast. It's a must-listen for enthusiasts who love exploring cutting-edge research on lifting, nutrition, and more, delivered with a unique blend of humor and world-building.

Greg is, of course, the co-founder and Head of Content at Stronger by Science and the co-founder of MacroFactor, the food-logging app that I use personally and can’t stop talking about.

Finally, Greg has been a pivotal inspiration in my personal journey of health and this very podcast.
