In the last episode we broke down food and nutrition - how they are not the same and understood what our food is made of - that is the macro and the micro nutrients. The macro nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fats while the micro nutrients are vitamins and minerals. We also understood the importance of each one of these components and, at a very high level, how much energy each one of the macro nutrients hold. We also agreed that we would incorporate more of unprocessed foods than processed foods in our daily diet.

This is the part 2 in the topic, and we will try to get a little deeper into the calorie balance and how to calculate it. Unless we know that, it is really difficult to say, with confidence, if you are eating more than you are burning, or less.

Remember why we are doing this? If we eat more energy than we burn, we gain weight, and if we burn more energy than we eat, we lose weight.
