Ep 73. Why a 'whole food obsession' is making you a worse athlete Macabolic Podcast

In episode 73 of the Macabolic Podcast I was joined by Josh Smith, a sports nutritionist and founder of Fortitude Nutrition Coaching.
Josh uses his relatable and understandable approach to nutrition communication to explain how the ‘clean foods only’ mindset of many dedicated athletes can cause more harm than good.
Josh and I discuss how the job of an athletes diet is vastly different to the diet of most people, and how using ‘the right tool’ for the job, is imperative to meet fuelling, and recovery demands, as well the intended benefit of training. 
Josh outlines why ensuring adequate fuel availability is a vital part of not only being the best athlete you can be, but also avoiding the hefty health consequences associated with chronic under fuelling.
We round the episode off with some practical ‘hows’ behind determining your Calorie requirements and aligning your food selection to make achieving targets feasible, and comfortable.
