Katrin on Her Nutrition
Katrin told POPSUGAR, "Nutrition is very important to me. It's another piece of the training routine. I train hard and put a lot of focus on recovery; nutrition is part of that recovery. I've been working with a nutrition team and a meal prep company for some time now and focus on keeping my meals clean [5] with lots of colourful veggies, lean meats, and no added sugars. I dial it in even more so close to competition to ensure I'm taking advantage of all the opportunities to be my best in the gym."
