Summary
Sports Dietitian Steph Hnatiuk returns to the podcast for a deep discussion on body composition: what it is, what we really mean when we talk about body composition and "recomposition", and why chasing that ultra-low body fat percentage or certain physique goal might not be helping your running performance!
- What does "body composition" mean?
- Factors that influence body composition
- Why the scale can stay the same while your body composition changes
- Why "leaner" isn't always healthier
- When body recomp & training go together (& when they don't)
- Nutritional timing for body composition
- and more!
