What’s your nutrition looking like?

Haha ain’t it a bitch! Na but for real progress takes small efforts day in day out!

Got to move the little weight fast and powerful to not get humbled by those big weights you want to hit!

Currently eating to grow with 170 protein, 200 carbs and 60 fats. Getting it all through whole foods and enjoying the boost in energy I feel especially when in the gym!

Plenty of room to add meals and calories when needed!
