Fiber, while not a macro for energy, is crucial for digestive health and satiety.In a bulking phase, consuming large amounts of food can sometimes lead to digestive issues. Adequate fiber intake (from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes) helps:
- Maintain bowel regularity.
- Promote gut health.
- Help regulate blood sugar levels.
Just be mindful not to overdo it right before training, as too much fiber can cause discomfort.
"Happy gut, happy gains."
Do you actively track your fiber intake?
