So this was more a discussion based podcast, I had an idea in mind and pressed record on my thoughts basically. When I work with people I always look to find the best route to their goals that means the least disruption tot their life and I never enforce any beliefs I may have onto anyone. In saying that I a big believer in something called the 80/20 rule. 80% of you energy intake coming from whole foods that require preparation and give you all the essential nutrients that you require and because you have then ticked that box 20% of you energy intake can come from anything that keeps you accountable and on track and that will vary from person to person. This means we move away from the good vs bad food labels that we see banded around and instead focus on well it just has a higher nutrient content and this has slightly less nutritional value but I enjoy it so I will keep a small amount in my life etc.
A calorie is fundamentally a unit of energy and the number 1600cal is the same target for 2 people however, they could both hit that target but receive drastically different nutrients, have varying energy and satiety levels and as a result be living two very different lives.
As always if you enjoyed this podcast please feel free to leave a review or message me and continue this conversation.
