What to Eat

I tell people what to eat. Every day. All day. Some people listen, some don't. While it's true, there is no "one perfect way to eat for every person," there are some basics that work for damn near everybody. I can tell you this... calories in vs. calories out is a myth. At best, it is an oversimplification. Energy balance is a complicated equation that involves common sense (I mean, seriously-- we all know what to eat... often, we just choose to disregard this knowledge), individual biometrics (height, weight, age, activity level) and a healthy dose of planning and mindfulness. Do you want to best your best self? Fantastic-- are you willing to put in some work to make it happen? No? Well, then I hope you like the person you are now because it isn't going to change... and it might get worse. Chew on that.
