The intention of this guide is to give you many of the tools required to increase awareness of calories, your caloric intake and how you would go about manipulating both the quality and quantity of them to fit with your own personal goals.
That goal could be cantered around improvements to your physical composition, changes to your physical and cognitive performance or perhaps a combination of both.
The quality and quantity of energy you consume on a daily basis therefore becomes critical and giving you a deeper understanding and clarity surrounding that source of fuel is a large step in the right direction.
