Definitely diet is different on prep, I cut salt seasoning and cut out processed foods and everything is measured.

Off season it’s more eating what you feel, having cheat meals, and less cardio

Fasted every morning and HITT after each workout

Why? Fasted help burn body fat

HITT helps with cutting
