In today's episode, I am joined by Laurin Conlin. Laurin is an IFBB Pro Bikini competitor and the owner of Team LoCoFit. She earned her B.S. from Florida State University and her M.S. from the University of South Florida, both in Exercise Science. She continues to serve as a research assistant to Dr. Bill Campbell’s Physique Enhancement lab at USF.

In this episode we discuss:

-Is a meal plan or tracking macros better?
