There are numerous scientific studies that demonstrate that coffee is a potent ergogenic (a drug with the capability for increasing capacity for bodily or mental labour especially by eliminating fatigue symptoms.)

My philosophy on diet is simple:
Read MoreLet's not mess about, meal prep is simple....when you get it right.
Step 1) get a calorie target and macro split for your goal (go online, ask your coach, work it out yourself)
Step 2) put your calories/macros into myfitnesspal (go to goals > calories & macro goals and customise it)
Step 3) put in foods you LIKE, that you could eat every day for a year (within reason) and do not worry about amounts, just make 4-6 little meal EXAMPLES
Read MoreSo I got a confession to make....
I've started training hard (6 days per week) for muscle gain.
And the other day I found myself panicking about not being muscular enough.
