After years of teaching people how to track calories, I go through the most common mistakes I see people making.  Tracking calories is a great learning tool to use to develop your knowledge with your nutrition.  But so often I see people making these mistakes which holds them back or makes the whole process much harder than it needs to be.  Please comment, like and subscribe!

This week we are joined again by @i_am_lom to discuss another important topic.  We looked at some of the different nutritional approaches that are commonly used in the fitness industry.  Should you track calories? Or follow a meal plan? What's better?  You will hear a lot of conflicting information online about this.  'Nobody should follow a meal plan...' 'Tracking calories is too obsessive... ' We thought it would be really valuable to break these down in more detail to give you a better insight into each approach.  This was a really interesting and enjoyable conversation.  I think it will give you a lot of food for thought... (see what I done there :P)  Please comment, like and subscribe! Really appreciate all the support!
