Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Glutton. Outside of acting my two favorite things

who knows these things and I'm friends with you to talk to me about them if you don't mind.

We get into that vernacular of fitness bros and what are your macros, bro?

And, hey, you know, what's your macro split? And if you're just trying to figure out this whole

fitness thing, the people like, what's a macro? What does that even mean? Right. Yeah. I mean, like,
