Nutrition — Beyond Calories
Macros, micros, Omega-3 Index, Na:K ratio and leucine — treating food as biochemistry you can act on.
Most trackers stop at “did you hit your macros?” Misi looks underneath — fat quality, micronutrient density, glycaemic load and the amino-acid completeness of your protein. Alex and Jo build a plan from Mifflin-St Jeor BMR through separate training- and rest-day macros.
Then the deep biochemistry: the sodium-to-potassium ratio, the Omega-3 Index, the leucine threshold for muscle protein synthesis, and a Meal-Fit Score that re-ranks meals against your bloodwork.
“The foods we eat are not just numbers — they are instruction sets for our biology.”
In this episode
- Separate training-day vs. rest-day macro targets
- The sodium-to-potassium ratio and blood pressure
- The Omega-3 Index and why 8%+ is the target
- The leucine threshold that switches on muscle protein synthesis
- How your bloodwork dynamically re-ranks every meal
