580 | Nutrition Without The Noise: Forget Trends & Find Results
Episode 580
Wednesday, 13 May, 2026
Kyle Kamp — Registered Dietitian, mountain athlete, owner of Valley-to-Peak Nutrition, and friend of Exo — returns to the podcast to discuss nutrition strategies for your pre-season goals. Whether you are looking to shed some weight, put on some size, or improve your performance for your training and hunting goals, Kyle discusses straightforward, science-based nutrition strategies to help you meet your goal. We dive into... Realistic Fat Loss: Why losing 1–2 pounds per week is the "sweet spot" for maintaining muscle mass and training performance. The Power of the Audit: Using tracking not as a restriction, but as a data-driven tool to understand what you are actually putting in your body. Fueling for Intensity: Understanding why "Team Versatility"—a mix of carbohydrates and fats—outperforms rigid dietary philosophies when the mountain gets steep. Protein Realities: How to calculate your protein needs based on your desired weight rather than your current weight. The Supplement Myth: Kyle shares why he personally takes zero daily supplements and how he prioritizes whole foods instead. Backcountry Preparation: How to adjust your intake as you transition from the training phase to the actual hunt to avoid going into the mountains depleted. Whether you are looking to drop weight before a September elk hunt or want to ensure you have the energy to stay strong on day seven of a backcountry trip, this episode is packed with free, actionable advice.
