Stop exercising to burn calories! [Metabolism Series 4 of 5]

Nutrition Science Daily for Fat Loss (Not Weight Loss), Muscle, Macros, and Metabolism

We all know workouts burn calories—but how much do they actually contribute to metabolism?

The Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT) component of metabolism is often overestimated, especially for fat loss.

Find out why cardio alone won’t cut it, and what actually gives you the edge when it comes to long-term metabolism.

This is part 4 of a 5-part series on Metabolism this week. We are offering a free Nutrition 101 guide that shows you exactly how to estimate your true, dynamic metabolism to determine what calories and macros you need.
