Down 12lbs in 3 months with minimal muscle loss. Crazy what calorie tracking will do compared to just about any other available nutritional technique.

“Calories in versus calories out” is simultaneously the most important yet oversimplified concept in all of health and fitness. It’s near impossible to lose weight in a calorie surplus and impossible gain weight in a deficit, yet finding the right amount for each person takes...

A lot of practice, patience, and quite frankly failure in order to find the number. People have spent a lot of years of bad science trying to explain it away, while others have tried to force feed that concept as though calories happen in a vacuum.

Long story short, calories matter more than just about anything, but loads other stuff could be affecting that bottom line.
