In this video I break down the debate between Tim Pool and Phil Labonte on calories in vs calories out. I believe the model is true, calories absolutely matter, but it is more complicated than most people realize. Nutrition is not just math on a calculator. I cover why protein and carbs are critical for muscle and health, how processed foods trick us into overeating, and why accurate calorie tracking is harder than people think.

As a coach I have seen why so many diets fail. It is not because calories do not work, but because people underestimate intake, overestimate activity, and overlook the role of food quality. Calories are the foundation, but the real key to success is combining that foundation with smarter choices, better tracking, and a plan that fits your lifestyle. This episode explores the nuance missing from the Tim Pool calories debate and shows how to actually make calories work for you.
