In the very first episode of the ringside nutrition podcast I am joined by Dr Carl Langan-Evans. Carl is one of the few experts in the combat sports nutrition & physiology field. Not only did Carl used to compete as a fighter, he has gone on to publish several research papers & case studies which have helped inform my own practice & act as a guideline for fighters to follow. 

In the episode we get into; the importance of body composition analysis & assessment of resting metabolic rate, how fighters can map out their fight camp nutrition effectively to fuel their training & make weight safely, the dangers of cutting too much weight, what happens to a fighter when they undereat, how to safely acutely cut weight in fight week & what to drink after a weigh in. 

If you are a fighter & you want to know how to plan your fight camp nutrition to perform at your best or you struggle with making weight, this episode can't be missed! Grab a notepad, get your headphones out & take this information in!
