Think you have a slow metabolism that's making weight loss nearly impossible?

You may be misunderstanding what your metabolism actually is.

“My RMR is 1,700 calories. The normal amount for someone my age and size is 3,000. I guess I just have to really watch all my calories.”

That message from a listener inspired today's episode.

Because there's a lot of confusion around metabolism—and that confusion can leave people feeling defeated before they even begin.

In this episode, Corey breaks down what metabolism actually means, what RMR and BMR measure, and why that's not the same thing as the total number of calories your body burns in a normal day.

We'll cover . . .

  • What metabolism actually means
  • What determines your resting metabolic rate
  • How movement and exercise fit into the calorie equation
  • How your body responds to calorie surpluses and deficits
  • Why and how strength training plays into all of this
  • When tracking calories and macros makes sense
  • How to choose the approach that's best for you
