What to eat, when to eat it, and the supplements that actually have evidence behind them. Science-backed nutrition for men who want results without a full-time commitment to it.
The only supplement category with decades of unambiguous evidence behind it. If you're not hitting your protein target, nothing else matters. Start here and stay here.
Creatine monohydrate has the most evidence of any sports supplement — full stop. Vitamin D3 with K2 addresses a genuine deficiency most men have and never test for.
Magnesium glycinate supports sleep and recovery for men who are deficient. Omega-3 fish oil at 2g+ EPA/DHA has good evidence for cardiovascular health. Both are cheap and well-tolerated.
Not calories. Not carbs. Not the glycemic index. The number most men consistently miss is protein. Everything else in your nutrition strategy is secondary to hitting 0.7–1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, every single day. Get that right first. Add complexity only after you've proven you can do the basics consistently.
