In this episode I address a statement that I heard recently, saying that calorie counting is stupid. I discuss why this is false and go over the following key points:- What's involved with calorie counting and why it's important- Why knowing how much you're eating can help you get results- How tracking can help you reach your dieting or muscle building goals- Why simply 'eating clean' isn't sufficient for fat loss- How long term dieting can affect your hunger signalsYou don't have to track calories and macros to lose weight, but it can be a powerful tool to help you change your body composition.Connect with Mark Carroll:Instagram: @coachmarkcarrollTikTok: @coachmarkcarroll_Facebook: @markcarrollpt If you're enjoying my podcasts, you can experience my methods yourself when you sign up for one of my educational guides & training programs on my app at https://coachmarkcarroll.com/If you’re a coach or aspiring personal trainer then my fitness education business @carroll_performance has the courses you need to be successful in the industry at https://carrollperformance.com/As always, if you're feeling generous, please rate the podcast 5 stars to let us know you're enjoying it!
