Bask to Basics: What Are Calories? #98

Calories have become one of the most misunderstood parts of nutrition. Mention the word and most people immediately think dieting, restriction or guilt. But a calorie is simply a unit of energy, and understanding that changes everything.In the first episode of my new Fat Loss Fundamentals series, I’m stripping nutrition right back to basics. We cover what calories actually are, why we’ve attached so much emotion to them, why I compare calories to money, and how understanding them gives you confidence instead of confusion.I also explain why tracking food doesn’t have to be complicated or obsessive. Used properly, it’s simply a way to learn about your eating habits rather than judge them. We finish by looking beyond the calorie number and into protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre, because understanding where your calories come from is just as important as understanding how many you’re eating.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition or wondered where to start, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.Also if this is something you would like help and support, DM me the word "COACHING" to learn more!
