Still confused about calories? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what calories really are, how they work in your body, and why eating less isn’t always the answer. If you’ve been stuck in the “clean eating” or low-calorie mindset and still not seeing results, this one’s for you.

We’ll cover:

1. What calories actually are (and why they’re not the enemy)
2. The difference between a deficit, maintenance, and surplus
3. Why chronic undereating slows down your metabolism and stalls fat loss
4. How to calculate your calorie needs based on your goals
5. What really matters beyond calories for long-term success

If you're ready to finally understand how to fuel your body without restriction or confusion, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose.
