April 27, 2023 By Daniel Louwrens, B.S., PT | Reviewed By: Jess Billitz, B.S., CPT

Key Takeaways

  • To get a ripped body from cycling, we’ll have to accept the caveats and make compromises.

So can you get ripped with TRX?

What to eat to gain muscle and lose fat image

Picking the right food to make progress is key for fitness. Whether the goal is to lose fat or gain muscle, you need to make sure you’re fueling the body with the right nutrients. This list will be more than your typical “douse your food in extra virgin olive oil.”

Before we start, I want to make a few statements.
