Why & When I increase Carbs

And the way we gain body fat is is through a calorie, ding, ding, ding, surplus.

So surplus is more than you need, and a deficit is a little bit less than you need.

And that's pretty well established.

However, Social media not doing us any favors as usual.

It's not your fault vibes going out there.

Take these meds and everything will be better.

That message has got a lot of people confused about, oh, you don't need to be in a deficit and you can recomp and whatever.

I don't have to see one ounce on the scale move and I'm going to lose all this fat and gain all this muscle at the very same time.

And it's going to be this miracle magic thing that happens.

So we need to, the first thing I want you to take away from today is number one, We lose body fat and weight, but we're going to talk about body fat.

We lose body fat through a calorie deficit.

So for example, and you can write these numbers down.

I wish I had a visual.

I probably should.

If you eat 2,000 calories a day, I'm sorry, if you burn 2,000 calories a day through your basal metabolic rate, which is your body just at rest.

So if you're sick and you were lying down all day and you literally couldn't move and you just slept, maybe your body burns 1,500, 1,400 calories, some lower, some higher.

My BMR is about 1,400.

So that's pretty low, but I'm active and I have some muscle.

But adding muscle doesn't let you eat like 500 more calories.

I think that's a huge misunderstanding out there.

So we have established this calorie.

We have a calorie expenditure every day.

That is your metabolism, okay? Metabolism are the calories you burn every day to exercise, to breathe, to eat, to function, to live.

That's your metabolism.

So some people will be like, oh, my metabolism is so slow.
