200.Understanding Your Nutrient Needs: Why Ignoring the Numbers Can Backfire
Monday, 9 November, 2026
In this episode of The Obesity Doctor Podcast, Tedi Glik, Registered Dietitian, breaks down why understanding your nutritional needs can be a powerful tool for supporting your health and weight goals.We'll talk about calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats, how to estimate your daily energy needs, and why eating too little can sometimes work against you. We'll also explore how to build balanced meals, structure your day, and use food tracking as a tool for awareness rather than restriction.In this episode, we cover:- Understanding your calorie needs (BMR vs. TDEE).- Why eating 1,200 calories isn't necessarily the answer.- How to determine your protein and macronutrient targets.- Building balanced, satisfying meals.- Simple ways to start tracking your food.- Why progress goes beyond the number on the scale.- How to move away from restrictive dieting and build sustainable habits.The takeaway? It's not about eating less or being perfect. It's about understanding what your body needs, nourishing it properly, and finding an approach you can maintain long term.Because knowledge gives you options, and the goal is to build a way of eating that supports your health, muscle mass, energy, and quality of life.RESOURCES:BMR Calculator:https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.htmlWORK WITH US:Dietitian Services:https://www.highmetabolicclinic.com/nutritionOntario-Wide Virtual Obesity Management Clinichttps://www.highmetabolicclinic.comJoin our Weight Loss Coaching Program for women, Best Weight https://www.sashahighmd.com/bestweightRecover Strong for Binge Eatinghttps://www.sashahighmd.com/bedTaking the first step toward weight loss can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone.
