In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down why intermittent fasting might not be the best approach for those focused on building muscle.

If you're serious about putting on muscle but feel like intermittent fasting is holding you back, this episode will help you understand what your body truly needs to succeed. Tune in for science-backed strategies and expert insights on how to tweak your nutrition for better results.
