32: What does Science say? Eat like THIS to Maximize Muscle Growth!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Tanner, a Certified Nutritionist & Personal Trainer guides us through what sports nutrition is, why it is important to eat BEFORE and AFTER you workout, and what the best pre and post workout meals are. We share our personal experiences over the years, insights through our own education, as well as the research behind these statements. Tanner has experience coaching over 400+ people, studied at Conestoga College and after got his certification in Nutrition and is filled with knowledge in how diet and exercise impact muscle and whole-body health and longevity. If you find yourself wondering IF you should eat before training (spoiler…YES you should) or unsure what exactly it is you should be eating, this episode is for you. Tune in as we suggest specific nutritional recommendations for optimal health: what to eat, how much to eat, the timing of meals, the essential need for adequate quality protein, supplementation (is it necessary?)Reference: Ormsbee, M.
