What's up, everyone?

We know the last thing you need is another fitness podcast to catch you up on the newest trends

and fat diets, which is why myself and Tony made the Fitness Stuff podcast to make exercise

and nutrition science practical.

Our goal is to expose misinformation in the industry by providing only evidence-based education.

And today, we are going to cover how you can determine how to get into a calorie deficit.

Tony, how are we doing today?

Fricking cloud nine right now, because we just learned, we can show this.

We just saw that we were ranked number 37 on Spotify Health and Fitness Podcast.

I'm going to be a hot mess. I'm blacked out of happiness right now during this podcast. Yeah, I'm good whole time. Don't take whatever I say. Yeah, don't take what I say. But really, this is because of you guys. And as always, this podcast will be free and you have free access to it all the time. but if you can support us by giving us a rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, quick little five star. And if you want to type out a review, go the extra mile. That would be awesome. But we really appreciate you guys in your support. And we want to keep going, rise to the top. You can do it right now. While you're listening, you can just go do it right now. That's enough of us pushing our hidden

agenda of getting five-star ratings. Let's talk about this. How to set up a calorie deficit,

because here's my take, the fitness industry today, if you look good in leggings, if you got a six-pack,

whatever, everyone hears the term to lose weight, to lose fat, you need a calorie deficit, you need a calorie deficit, you need to...

But most people don't even understand what that means, in my opinion. Would you agree?

Yeah, totally. Or they have an understanding and don't know how to set one up that's accurate for them.

Exactly. People say it's easy, it's easy. And I think we've said this a few times on this podcast before. It's a simple idea. It's a simple mechanism. It's not easy to implement because it's a little bit complicated just based on your lifestyle, who you are, where you're at in your journey. So that's what we're here to talk about. Today is how to set one up, but first explain what it is in the first place. I've made this argument before. I bet if you even

ask fitness professionals, just anyone who coaches stuff like that in the industry, I would

bet if you just ask everyone the simple question of what is a calorie. Can you define what a calorie

is to me?

I would say upwards of 80, 90% couldn't even do that.

Yeah.

Would you agree?
