Carbon in vs. carbon out — how to think about energy balance more clearly. Why nutrition drives fat loss — the 90/10 rule of diet vs. exercise. The two macros most women misjudge — why we consistently overestimate protein and underestimate fat. What to do if you're stuck at 1,200 calories — Andy's three-step framework: reevaluate, build muscle, or take a structured diet break. Protein timing truths — total daily protein matters more than timing, plus the role of pre-sleep protein. Metabolic flexibility demystified — why it's about switching fuels efficiently, not always "burning fat."
