1. Understanding the Core Science

Meal prep is the ultimate consistency tool. Balancing your intake of protein, carbohydrates, and fats determines how your body recovers and builds tissue.

Furthermore, Calorie tracking teaches portion control and calorie values. This key dietary adaptation supports hormone production, including testosterone and thyroid hormones.

Ensure you consume high-quality protein with every meal to keep muscle protein synthesis elevated.
