Episode 328: Layne Norton: Are Your Fitness Trackers Telling You the Truth?

If you wear a fitness tracker, and burn 300 calories - that doesn’t mean you get to eat an extra 300 calories! In this bonus episode of Habits & Hustle (Fitness Friday’s), Layne Norton and I talk about how to know how much to eat based on your workouts. Everyone is different, and sometimes workouts can drive hunger significantly; However, sometimes it is psychological. I also dive into the research behind step count and whether 10,000 steps actually make a difference. I share with you information on fasted versus fed cardio, and how to know which is better for you if your goal is fat loss. Layne Norton is the founder of BioLayne.
