Ever feel like you have to eat way less than everyone around you just to maintain your weight? Or like one weekend of eating out causes you to instantly gain weight?

If so, you may be wondering: "Do I have a slow metabolism?" or "Why are my maintenance calories so low?"

In this episode of Fast Fit Facts, we're breaking down the real reasons it feels like your body gains weight so easily—and why your metabolism may not be "broken" after all.

You'll learn:

• What maintenance calories actually are • How chronic dieting can lower your calorie burn over time • What metabolic adaptation is and why it happens • The role muscle mass plays in your metabolism • How low daily movement can impact calorie expenditure • Why years of restriction and "starting over Monday" may be keeping you stuck • Most importantly: how to increase your maintenance calories and build a healthier metabolism over time

The truth is, if you feel like you have to eat very little just to maintain your weight, the answer isn't always eating less. Sometimes the solution is building a body that burns more.

If you're tired of constantly dieting, struggling with weight fluctuations, or feeling like your metabolism is working against you, this episode is for you.
