What book should I read if I want to know more about diet and nutrition for becoming an endurance athlete?
I'm in probably the mid-20s in body fat percentage. I'm a 31-year-old guy. I don't want to do a cut; I just want to live a healthy lifestyle. My stress isn't crazy or anything; I just don't have a ton of time, with work being 8-10 hours daily (desk job). If I focus on eating whole foods (with a supplemental protein shake or something), walking 8k-10k steps, and doing MAPS 15 and MAPS 15 Performance, will I naturally get down into the teens for body fat percentage, which is my ultimate goal?
Would it be better to eat a more balanced diet, mindful of what food I'm eating, versus trying to stay on the carb cycling trend while I'm lifting and trying to build a better metabolism and leaner physique, based on the episode #351: Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Longevity: A Heart Surgeon's Perspective with Dr. Philip Ovadia and the clip Real Food Principles?
