Taylor McCoy’s Nutrition to Get Lean

The Iowan music producer & engineer living in Los Angeles gave us insight on his hard body diet plan. Save this nutrition plan and throw it in your iPhone notes. The portion and food choices can be changed based on personal preference but this gives good insight to what proper nutrition looks like. For planning your own nutrition, you will need a scale and to monitor the macros of protein, carbs, and fats. With a close to 3000 caloric intake this helps him fuel his body to perform at an optimal level for heavy lifting. He prefers to hit the gym 30 mins to an hour after morning meditation and his first meal of a breakfast shake. You can find him on the westside of LA 5 to 6 days a week at the gym before he hits the studio.

Something that is often overlooked in cultivating creativity is the importance of taking personal responsibility for your physical, mental, and spiritual health. Our good friend Taylor McCoy gets right on all levels before honing his craft each day. You can DM him on Instagram if you’re in need of some vocals mixed or consult with him for a fresh take on your music project. Find him here @TayMacMusic
