Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s start again: The calories you are burning during your workout don’t actually matter
ESPECIALLY if you’re just going to eat like afterwards, or you are trying to “make up “ for yesterday, or you are trying to “earn” the right to eat like anyway.
Listen, doing tons of CARDIO is about the worst way to out-door un-do or whatever you think doing a lot of it is “helping” you do. It’s more of a time suck than it is a fat burner
Skeptic: Ok, fat loss expert, share your wisdom because I’m stuck as f*ck?!
Doing LESS (with intention) is going to feel so nice, you’ll probably drop several pounds within a few weeks & be feeling so good, you’ll WISH you had listened to the expert sooner.
The calories your body burns at REST are really all that matter because you’re burning more of them than you are during the hours you’re exhausting yourself in the gym.
If you REALLY want to tap into your body’s fat stores and become a fat-burning machine, you’ll pick heavy weights & go for more walks than you do runs, aka spend less time “trying” to burn the calories your body knows it’s going to burn anyway.
Work smarter, not longer. I’ll leave it there.
