There\u2019s something comforting about knowing exactly what, when, and how much you\u2019re going to eat every day. You never have to think about food, and you\u2019re guaranteed results whether you\u2019re cutting, maintaining, or bulking. That\u2019s the beauty of meal planning. On the other hand, weighing, tracking, planning, preparing, and packaging all of your meals for the day (or week) in advance is very tedious. Is there an easier way? There is, and you\u2019re going to learn all about it in this podcast.
\nJoining me on this podcast is John North, and we\u2019re discussing how to eat without tracking your macros or every gram of food while still improving your body composition and achieving your goals.
\nIn case you\u2019re not familiar with John, he and I have been working together behind the scenes for years on articles, books, podcasts, and other content. In fact, he\u2019s the Director of Content for Legion. He\u2019s also completed over 100 triathlons and cross-country, cycling, and adventure races, has squatted and deadlifted over 400 pounds and bench pressed over 300 pounds, and has researched and written for over a dozen organizations, including the National Institutes of Health. So he walks the walk and know a thing or two about helping people get into the best shape of their lives.
