​​For the longest time, a debate has been going on:
 
Which is more important - training or nutrition? ​Both sides of the argument have their strong points, and you’ve probably heard statements like:
 
“Fitness success is 80 percent determined by what you eat.”
 
“Without proper training, you wouldn’t be able to make positive changes.”
 
So, who is right, and who is wrong? Let’s see.

​​There is a famous quote in the health sphere, which does an excellent job of illustrating the importance of healthy nutrition:

“You are what you eat.”

​Yes, it sounds a bit cliché, but it’s quite true. 

The fact is, we are what we eat, and what we put in our bodies can have a profound effect on our health, mood, energy levels, and much more.

If you were to ask most people what they think matters most for training success, a vast majority of them would list out things such as:

• Good genetics
• Having a trustworthy coach/mentor
• Following the best training program

And many similar examples.
But, the truth is, one factor matters more than all of these, yet few people spend time to discuss it. What’s that? ​
