Is Maintenance a Nutrition Goal? - Episode 102 - a podcast by Dr. Kristin Lander & Mary Morton, PhD
from 2019-09-18T21:12:47
Why do all nutrition goals seem to be either cutting or bulking? Why don’t we hear about the third option (i.e. eating at maintenance)?! In today’s episode we discuss cutting and bulking cycles, what it does to your body, eating for performance, and why having a nutrition coach can be a huge advantage to your athletic potential especially when you’re eating for strength.
