Listen "Eat THIS to burn more calories [Metabolism Series 3 of 5]"
Episode Synopsis
You’ve heard that eating protein increases metabolism—but is that just another nutrition myth?

This is part 3 of a 5-part series on Metabolism this week. We are offering a free Nutrition 101 guide that shows you exactly how to estimate your true, dynamic metabolism to determine what calories and macros you need.
