What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Why not eating enough calories won't help you put on muscle, and what you should ideally be putting on your plate if this is your goal.

  • Good high-protein snacks, and why Max prefers fat-free Greek yogurt to a full-fat option.

  • The importance of getting enough iodine and selenium, and why even the most health-minded Americans probably aren't.

  • How to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to genuine scientific research and bogus pseudoscience.

  • How Max gets through a lull in motivation to work out, how he's been working out lately, and how he nourishes himself post-workout.

  • And so much more!
