#306: How Much Does Food Quality Matter?

Brad and Alberto discuss why it’s important to look beyond the calorie and macronutrient content of foods if you want to get the most out of your bodybuilding lifestyle. Have the coaches noticed a correlation between food quality and how the body performs and recovers? How does focusing on food quality make prep easier, more enjoyable, and lead to a faster recovery after prep? What nutrition recommendations around food quality do the coaches have for those who are bulking? Is it okay to just eat for taste sometimes? How does the law of diminishing returns apply to eating? As long as he is still hitting his macronutrient targets, can Alberto get just as lean even if he’s not focusing on food quality? The answers to these questions plus many more are covered in this episode.
