And I will adjust that based off of the amount of training I'm doing, especially when it comes to running.

If I'm running more or doing a more intense run, I will increase calories and especially carbohydrates around those days.

But most people...

think that they're consuming more carbohydrates than they really are.

And most people think they're consuming less fats than they really are.

This is why I say it's important that people at least track the nutrition every once in a while, because you'll learn a lot.

I could ask someone, how much dietary fat do you think you consume on a daily basis?

And they might say, 80 grams, 85 grams.

And then,

You track their nutrition with them for three to five days.

You find on average they're consuming 150 grams of fat a day.

It's pretty wild.

There's fat hidden in a lot of things, especially when we go to dinner.

If you go to dinner, you can almost assume that everything's cooked in oil and butter.

and I know this from talking to friends who run restaurants and are chefs and cooks, like, yeah, everything's cooked in oil and butter.

You know, if you're cooking dinner with your family and you're cooking fast, you're not thinking of it, you know, you add some olive oil in the pan to cook the,

The meat that you're browning, you add some olive oil on the potatoes that you're about to roast.

You add some olive oil to or butter to the vegetables you just steamed.

If you look at it, you got your lean ground meat.

You have these potatoes, a good starch.
