So, guys, this is Derek for more plates, more days.com.

Today we're going to be talking about how we get shredded while eating McDonald's every day.

So probably something a lot of people would want to know, but obviously it's not the optimal way to diet because you're not getting a lot of micronutrients that you could be from other foods.

It's not exactly macro dense in terms of protein relative to fat.

But, you know, if you want, there's no reason why you couldn't make it work if you needed to.

So a lot of people would say, how is this possible?

And if you've seen, if you haven't seen any of my

original how to get shredded videos or articles, I recommend you go watch them or read them,

because they're going to explain way more elaborate detail the getting shredded process than I

will in this video. But basically what it comes down to is calories in versus calories out.

So you have a certain amount of calories your body expends on a daily basis.

This is determined through your basal metabolic rate or your BMR coupled with your activity level.

And you can figure this out with a maintenance calorie calculator, which I'll link in the video description below, which basically calculates

how many calories you can eat per day to that you, relative to how much you expend. So how many

calories you take in and how many calories out you can eat and expend to keep your weight

exactly the same. So basically by knowing your metabolism,

your metabolic rate, your basal metabolic rate, which is your BMR, factored in with however much,

you know, physical activity you're doing on a weekly basis, you can figure out how many calories

you burn per day. And then with that, you can figure

out, you know, if you burn that many per day, you can logically eat exactly that many calories to

neither gain weight nor lose weight. So if you want to lose weight, you have to eat less

than this maintenance number. So even if you're having McDonald's every day, obviously, typically the reason why somebody
