The Food & Life Freedom Podcast is here to help you explore your relationship with food and body, to overcome out-of-control eating such as binge or emotional eating and take the guilt out of food.
We are so much more complex and interesting than the diet-y messages and food rules make us out to be. When we start working with our bodies (rather than against them), we can find our food and life freedom!

E29. Busting the calories in calories out myth
Calories are everywhere—on food labels, menus, and weight loss programs. But how accurate is the "calories in, calories out" model? In this episode, Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor Emma Townsin uncovers the truth behind calorie calculations, metabolism, and why the 2000kcal per day guideline isn't what it seems.
We dive into how calorie counts are determined, why our bodies adapt to calorie intake, and how focusing on numbers can harm our relationship with food. Instead of rigid calorie tracking, Emma shares how intuitive eating can help you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues for a healthier, more balanced approach to eating.
