Systems, Not Fads: How We Coach BJJ/MMA Nutrition (Strong Talk Podcast Episode #14)

Great results come from boring consistency. On the Strong Talk Podcast we dug into why systems beat hacks, season after season.

Clear goals first

Make the target specific. Make weight for a comp? Build muscle off-season? Manage an injury? The phase sets calories and macros. Then adjust as your body changes.

Track a few things well

Weight, photos, steps, sleep. That’s enough for most. These markers tell us when to push, when to hold, and when to refuel. You don’t need a lab to make smart calls.

Education over rigid meal plans

Life won’t be perfect. We teach the “why” so you can navigate travel, family, and last-minute schedule changes. Progress continues even when the day isn’t textbook.

Longevity for grapplers

Neck, back, knees—eat and train to last. Protein, omega-3s, fruit, veg, hydration, and sleep protect your body and your training years.
