Episode Description from the Publisher

Metabolism doesn't slow down at 30, and you don't need to pick a side between "calories are all that matter" and "just eat clean." In this episode, I break down the three-layer framework that cuts through nearly all nutrition confusion: calories determine what you weigh, macros determine how you look, and quality determines how you feel. You'll learn why most weight gain has nothing to do with a broken metabolism, how basal metabolic rate actually works, why protein intake changes your body composition independent of calories, and why food quality affects your mood and hunger even when calories are matched. If you've ever wondered which diet or influencer to trust, this episode gives you the filter to decide for yourself.   Follow Truth Serum Podcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tylermintonnutrition/?hl=en Podcast IG:  https://www.instagram.com/truthserumpodcast_/?hl=en TikTok:  @TruthSerumPod Website:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/ Newsletter:  https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/truth-serum-weekly-newsletter/
