Mauro Fialho goes the extra mile

As per the World News Nation interview, the Brazillian-Spanish athlete was clear about his diet goals. He asserted that if his prep coach asked him to survive on marbles for years, he would be ready to do it. He’s not worried about the “sacrifice” and is grateful that his work and lifestyle make room for six meals a day. 

Besides that, Fialho’s trainer does the work of intense routine calculations of weights, nutrients, and “everything.” “We adjust all the nutrients up or down, playing with more or less cardio,” the 31-year-old athlete added. He shared that he’s never irked by the topic of food. Moreover, with time, he has grown into a more professional individual, tightening up on his diet routines.
