Do you currently weigh more than you’d like to? Are you considering calorie counting to lose weight? Before you start, there are some important things you need to consider.

Weight gain can almost always be explained by energy balance theory. The law of thermodynamics dictates that if you eat more calories than you burn, you'll likely gain weight. Conversely, if you burn more calories than you eat, you'll likely lose weight. There are many challenges to weight loss, but a fundamental challenge is that while calories absolutely count, it’s very difficult to accurately count them on the way in and on the way out.

Why? Because some variables can make calorie math more complex than you might think, screwing up your calculations and impacting your weight loss efforts. Even if your calorie math is excellent, you still likely have an error rate of 10-20 percent – enough to derail your efforts.

In this video I’ll share five calorie variables you’re probably not aware of that can mess up your math, plus five effective alternative solutions to calorie counting that could make your weight loss journey more successful. Let’s get started!

WHAT IS CALORIE MATH?
Calorie math is the calculation of energy balance in the human body. It's based on the principle that the calories you consume from food must equal the calories you expend through activities and bodily functions to maintain your weight.

Consuming more calories than you burn leads to weight gain, while consuming fewer calories leads to weight loss. This balance is influenced by different factors including metabolism, physical activity, and the nutritional content of the foods that you eat.
