In this MEGAphone episode we will be shouting out my #1 favorite health expert, Shawn Stevenson, host of the Model Health Show Podcast. He wrote one of the best nutrition books I have ever read, which has helped me help my clients on a daily basis, called “Eat Smarter.” If you are struggling with your nutrition, your weight, your health… you have to invest your time in reading this book. It will change your world. Go get it, “Eat Smarter.” 

Shawn did a fantastic podcast episode on the history of the calorie that I’m going to share with you. We will discuss the history of the calorie, why tracking calories is extremely inaccurate, but also  why tracking calories may be really useful when it comes to changing your body composition goals. 
We will discuss if one calorie of broccoli is the same as one calorie of ice cream. We will discover how calories are used to fuel us, how calories are stored as a way of keeping us alive, and many other factors that cause dieters to obsess over them. 
It is my hope that we can uncover some unknown facts that you may have not heard about the calorie and how energy is used in the body. With this information, we can empower you to reach your goals… whether they be performance goals, body fat loss goals, muscle mass gain, or increased vitality and health in your life. So let’s dive in to the crazy world of calories.
