Description

Summary

In this episode, I dive into the impact of meal timing on fat loss and muscle gain. I break down some common myths around nutrition, like the idea that eating carbs after a certain time causes weight gain. I also explore time-restricted feeding and explain its relatively modest effects on fat loss, stressing that total energy intake is what truly matters. When it comes to building muscle, I highlight the importance of getting enough protein and spreading it throughout the day, rather than obsessing over strict timing. Ultimately, I make the case that practical, consistent dietary habits are far more important than sticking to rigid meal schedules.
