We are back for a second episode based on nutrition.

Matt joins me to discuss meal timings, flexibility around your nutrition to suit your goals and plenty more topics that fall under the umbrella of nutrition.

There are many opinions around what is 'optimal' when it comes to nutrition and you can often feel inundated with so much information that actually it can cause an overwhelm that leaves you feeling lost as to what direction to take. We hope to simplify nutrition for you through education and our experiences as coaches and bodybuilders.

Discussions include:
*Interchangeable nutrition based on your goals
*Food enjoyment
*Education around nutrition
*Eating out and making memories
*External pressure
*Different diets and mythologies
*Food variety and selection
*Meal timing
*Optimising nutrition
*Social media
*Considerations around natural and assisted bodybuilding
*The different phases of bodybuilding
