Ep72. How Much Should You Actually Be Eating? Here's How to Find Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How many calories should I eat? It's one of the most searched questions in nutrition, and most of the answers online are either completely generic, dangerously low, or so complicated they're useless.
The truth is, there is no universal number. But there is a logical, practical way to figure out yours, and it's not as complicated as the internet makes it.
In this episode, I walk through exactly how to find your own calorie target in plain English, no maths degree required, and explain the key concepts that change everything: TDEE, NEAT, and why most women are unintentionally eating far less than they should be.
You'll learn:
- What TDEE actually is and the four components that make it up
- Why your calorie needs are unique to you (and why generic recommendations are useless)
- How to estimate your maintenance calories without needing a lab
- The practical method for setting a fat loss deficit that actually works
- Why most women who feel stuck are eating too little... not too much
Walk away with a clear starting point for your calories, and the confidence to actually use it. 💚
