Let’s be real... calories still matter. In an industry that’s shifting toward a more balanced, intuitive approach to health (which I fully support), it’s easy to forget that energy balance is still a key player in certain goals. Whether it’s fat loss, muscle gain, or even maintaining a healthy weight, calories aren’t something we can just ignore. But here’s the thing—being mindful of your intake doesn’t mean you’re obsessed or disordered. In this quick episode, I’m breaking down why calories still play a role, how moderation and discipline fit into a balanced lifestyle, and why tracking (in some form) can be a useful tool without taking over your life.
