This week's episode will review some basic nutrition concepts that will be helpful for understanding a lot of the terminology in our upcoming series of episodes, all about helping you "Find your Food Fit" - a plan for how to structure your every day eating in a way that fits with your lifestyle, preferences, health goals, budget, and more. This episode also provides a sneak peak at the types of eating patterns we'll review in the next 7 episodes, to help you find your food fit.

Here are a few additional resources mentioned in today's episode. We have also posted short tutorial videos on YouTube that walk through using the calculators below to find your daily caloric needs, and how to read a nutrition label. Please check those out if you want a step by step guide!
