I started a regular weight lifting program about four years ago. Building muscle was my main goal and I was pretty consistent logging in five sessions per week. My nutrition was two protein shakes a day. I figured the increase in amino acids would do the trick. I even convinced myself I was gaining some muscle. When I finally came to myself I had to admit that a lot of those gains were actually body fat gains. Not muscle.

Fittur helped me identify the problem. Too many calories and all the wrong macros for fueling my workouts and supporting muscle building.

Fittur didn’t just tell me how many calories, carbs, protein, fat and fiber to eat. The app showed me in real time my balanced eating. Or I should probably say—my imbalanced eating. Nutritionally, I was no where near eating the right amount of building blocks or the right fuel to develop the lean, muscular body composition I was looking for. 

Fittur helped me fix everything. Including eating more fiber. Now I know that when I hit my fiber target I’m choosing healthier whole foods with lots of vitamins and minerals, instead of highly processed foods. Its easier to avoid the low fiber foods that spike my blood sugar and cause food addictions. I use the fiber target everyday to double check the quality of my food choices.

I’ve been using Fittur for over a year now. I eat the foods I enjoy in just the right portion sizes to achieve my goals. And it works. I’m finally gaining muscle like never before.
