(16:10) - What are your thoughts on body types, especially endomorphs?

(20:55) - I work a 9-5 desk job, workout every day for about an hour and am also training for a marathon.

Maintenance, cycling, higher on training days, etc? (36:25) - I’m a female, 25 years old, 108 lb, in a reverse diet. I’ve been weighing myself daily and for the past week my weight has spiked up to 110-111 lbs. this spike up has happened before but never lasts this long. I have felt ‘heavy/bloated’ as well. It may be water retention, hormones, monthly period, etc. i track my calories diligently everyday and train 4-6 days a week. I don’t believe I’ve hit my maintenance calories yet because I still have mental food cravings and increased hunger about every two days. I just wanted to get your professional opinion on this spike up. What would you do in my situation? (40:15) - How should a college football player structure in season nutrition?
