In today’s episode, Dr. Jade gives you an overview on calories, how they work and how they impact fat loss practices. While calories can be worked simply by counting them with a food calculator app, it’s important to know yourself first and pay attention to how your body and metabolism uniquely function. How we want to be looking at calories is: they are energy and should be treated alongside a sustained diet.   Dr. Jade also explains the difference between portions of food and the energy density corresponding to that specific food. Different portions of food have different numbers of calories and they don’t always match, for example, a super small portion of granola has a super high number of calories in it. By underestimating this equation people end up counteracting any progress during their fat loss journey.   Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!
