About this episode
In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down why intermittent fasting might not be the best approach for those focused on building muscle. While IF is popular for fat loss and metabolic health, it can limit the nutrient availability and calories necessary to optimize muscle growth. She dives into the science of muscle protein synthesis, the importance of nutrient timing, and why consistent fueling is key for muscle repair and development.
If you're serious about putting on muscle but feel like intermittent fasting is holding you back, this episode will help you understand what your body truly needs to succeed. Tune in for science-backed strategies and expert insights on how to tweak your nutrition for better results.
