So the question I have been getting lately is "how many calories should I burn a day?"

There are other calorie questions I am getting too, like "how many calories do I need to lose weight per day?"

Or "how many calories do I need to avoid food cravings?" And these are great questions.

They're great because they show you are curious and you are trying to learn how to take care of your body. However, these questions are flawed for two strategic reasons.

These reasons are:

1. Your focus is on 'How Much' and not 'What'.

2. Your focus is counting, rather than feeling.
