In this episode, I discuss the Calories vs. Hormones dichotomy. Calories serve as the best measurement tool for how much energy food contains, but your hormones dictate your metabolic rate. Is it a false dichotomy, or is one perspective better than the other. Should you be tracking your Calories or focusing exclusively on eating to elicit specific hormonal and metabolic effects? Or is there a way to split the difference and get the best of both worlds?
