About this episode

In this episode, Megan Hardy addresses listener questions about the impact of food quality on nutrition results.

If calories are calories and you’re hitting your macros… does it really matter what foods you eat? In this listener Q&A, we’re diving into one of the biggest debates in the nutrition world and unpacking why food quality may influence your results in ways you haven’t considered. We’ll talk about the balance between flexibility, sustainability, and fueling a body that doesn’t just lose weight—but loses FAT and builds MUSCLE—and performs and feels better too.
