Why 80/20?

Most likely you've heard of the 80% nutrition 20% exercise rule. But do you know exactly why it breaks down this way?

Here's why:

✔️ It takes an approximate 3,500 calorie deficit to burn 1 pound of body fat
✔️ That means you would have to run 7-10 miles a day for an entire week to lose 1 pound of fat
✔️ Or, you can simply adjust your calorie intake to represent that same 3,000-3,500 calorie deficit
✔️ That's roughly 300-500 calories a day you need can reduce from your food intake to reach that same goal of losing fat
✔️ Add in exercise and bam, you're well on your way to losing fat

We all know how hard it can be to eat healthy.

I want to help make this challenge just a little bit easier for you.
