In this episode, I have Kyle from Valley To Peak Nutrition on the show, and he shines a light on a VERY misunderstood topic in the world of nutrition: fat.

Specifically, he talks about the differences between dietary fat (i.e. what you eat) and body fat (what is on your body) - and how it relates to fuel for energy and hiking. 

This episode will be very valuable for any hiker trying to get a good handle on their nutrition and fuelling for the trail.
