In today's episode, we talk about what calories really are and how they're calculated and used as a weight loss "starting point." We also discus the function of insulin and why it matters even if you aren't a diabetic and more importantly, how you can keep it under control and burn fat for energy! Be sure to check out the links below for a free week of the "LoseIt" app (available on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store) for logging your daily calories and avoid having to calculate your BMR!

One example of a formula used for calculating BMR is as follows: 

BMR (kcal / day) = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height(cm) – 5 * age (y) + s (kcal / day) , where "s" is +5 for males and -161 for females.
