#228 - The road to our photo shoot Part 1 with Craig McDonald

Have you ever thought about doing a photoshoot to show off your progress? We definitely have… And now we’re doing one! First off, it feels GOOD to have a goal to work toward, so we are really excited about this. But how are we preparing for this photoshoot? Well, this breakdown is coming out in two parts. This first part focuses on our nutrition and what we will both be doing to get ready for this in terms of our food, meals, calories, and macros.
