Listen Later

Do you know how many calories you need to adequately fuel your body? If you are struggling to answer that then this is for you. In this episode, Jordan Sullivan, Performance Dietitian to Elite Athletes and High Performers, and Director of World Renowned Performance Nutrition Company, TFD (The Fight Dietitian), discusses everything you need to know about figuring out how many calories you need to adequately fuel your body. 

The discussion begins with a review on what exactly a calorie is, how the calorie was introduced to science, how our body extracts calories from food, what our body uses energy for, how energy needs differ between individuals, the warning signs you are getting it wrong and how to put all of this together to use equations, multipliers and a tracking system to make sure you are fuelling your body properly.
