In this episode of Kindsight 101, Candice McMurran, a nutrition coach and personal trainer, dismantles the myth that you can outwork a bad diet. She emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition for achieving your fitness goals.

Here are 5 key takeaways:

1. Nutrition is King: Working out is important, but it can’t compensate for a poor diet. You need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight and consume enough protein to build muscle.
2. Track Your Macros: Tracking your macros (macronutrients: fat, protein, carbs) helps you understand your calorie intake and ensures you’re hitting your goals. Free apps like MyFitnessPal can simplify this process.
3. Beware of Hidden Calories: Restaurant meals and seemingly healthy options like Lean Cuisine meals can be surprisingly calorie-dense. Track your food intake to avoid unintentional overconsumption.
4. Focus on Calorie Intake, Protein, and Fiber: When starting out, focus on tracking your total calorie intake, protein intake, and fiber intake. This provides a strong foundation for healthy eating.
5. Prioritize Meal Prep: Planning and prepping your meals in advance helps you stay on track and avoid unhealthy choices when hunger strikes. Batch cook proteins and create multiple meals for the week.
