Have you ever changed your mind when presented with new information? I have—especially about the importance of calories and calorie tracking. A few years ago, I realized I was under-muscled and “skinny fat,” which shifted my perspective. In today’s episode, I share past interviews with guests who offered insights into why calories and tracking can be beneficial for my goals of losing weight and building muscle mass.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with guests on how calories and tracking can help establish a baseline and guide progress. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon explains why we should approach calorie tracking like how we manage finances and other areas of life. Max Lugavere emphasizes that the type of calories matters and how tracking can influence weight loss, maintenance, and gain. JJ Virgin shares why a 21-day tracking commitment using an app can jump-start weight loss goals. If you’re looking to understand the importance of calories and tracking, this episode is for you!
