Ever wonder how competitive fighters plan their nutrition?

Despite all the access to information, many fighters are still suffering through unnecessary, brutal weight cuts and following outdated nutrition advice.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with James Nichol—a Muay Thai fighter and sports nutritionist—to break down the biggest mistakes in combat sports nutrition and what fighters should actually be doing to fuel performance.

We cover:

• The cultural habits in combat sports that hinder optimal nutrition

• How to plan realistic and effective weight cuts

• The ideal body fat percentage for peak performance

• Practical macro strategies during fight camps

• Essential supplements: what's worth it and what's not

• The psychological aspects of dieting and performance

• The often-overlooked importance of vegetables in a fighter's diet

Whether you’re a coach, fighter, or someone who trains hard and eats seriously — this one’s packed with actionable insights.
