Ep 19: MacrosFirst - Jacob Bockelmann

This week Danny and Dave got to interview the man behind an up and coming macro tracking app called MacrosFirst. His name is Jacob Bockelmann and he’s a product manager by day and a olympic weightlifter by night. He got turned on to the Renaissance Periodization or RP Strength Diet a few years ago and found that trying to figure out how much of each food to eat to hit his correct macros for each meal was such a nightmare he was determined to find a better way. An Entrepreneurial spirit, some well timed jury duty that gave him some time with paper and pen instead of at his desk working on someone else’s product, this built up frustration with how hard it was to eat correctly, and the determination to fix his own problem and help other people at the same time led him to build MacrosFirst. In this episode we chat about nutrition, weightlifting, marconutrient counting, silicon valley, building an app and a bunch of other fun stuff, so it’s a very well rounded and fun hour.
