what's up, guys? jeff cavalier, athlean-x.com. today we're going to commit a murder. we'regoing to kill four nutrition myths that need to die. they needed to die a long time agowhen it comes to building muscle. okay, let's start off with our first one andthat is "fats make you fat". guys, eating a lot of fat makes you fat, just like eatinga lot of carbs will make you fat, eating a lot of protein will make you fat, and eatinglots and lots of food in excess of your caloric maintenance level will make you fat. we've talked about, in order to lose fat youhave to be in a hypocaloric state. eating fats on their own is not going to cause aproblem unless you're eating them in excess. here's a little caveat when it comes to fats,however, that maybe confuses people. that is that fats on a gram by gram basis– you've probably heard this a million times – are more calorically dense than a gramof carbohydrates or a gram of protein. for every gram of fats

what's up, guys? jeff cavaliere, athleanx.com. today we've got to simplify nutrition. why?because most of the time people make it really complex. and when something is complex, you usuallywind up bailing on it pretty quickly because nobody can turn their nutrition into a secondjob and have it be something they can follow for theentire year or for an extended period of time, and therefore aren't going to get sustainedconsistent results. and we all know how important nutrition is.i've said it before. i'll say it again. nutrition is about 70 percent of the equation, but ifyou can't follow it, we've got problems. so, with athleanx and in my x factor mealplan, we have certain guidelines and rules that make following a meal plan a lot simpler. we remove all the calorie counting, and measuringand the macro counting because it doesn't have to be that complex. if you take your plate that you're going toeat on, right. right here, a normal sized dinner plate, a
