The Approach Podcast - Why We Don’t Count Calories & The Myths Behind It

Adam Potash

In this episode of The Approach Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most common misconceptions in health and fitness: calorie counting. While tracking every bite might seem like the key to weight management, we’re here to bust the myths and explain why we don’t rely on calorie counting for sustainable health.

We break down the flaws in calorie labels, why the "calories in vs. calories out" model oversimplifies metabolism, and how stress, hormones, and food quality play a bigger role than the numbers on a nutrition label. Plus, we’ll share what actually works when it comes to fueling your body and feeling your best.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by calorie counting or wondered if there’s a better way—this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s shift the focus to a more intuitive, balanced approach to food and wellness.
