#125 - What is body recomposition and why is having more muscle going to increase your basal metabolic rate with Craig McDonald

We’re back with my co-host and co-founder of NuStrength, Craig Mcdonald. We did a podcast a little while back about different phases, and I got tons of questions from it. Many of you said you wanted Craig back on to talk more about the body recomposition phase and when it’s appropriate.

So, you asked and we answered! In this episode, Craig and I chat about:

➡️What is body recomposition?

➡️The myth about metabolism and age ane what's really going on

➡️Why you actually gain weight and fat

➡️The benefits of having more muscle

➡️How more muscle contributes to a better basal metabolic rate

➡️When body recomposition is appropriate

➡️How your food and nutrition play a part
