F72E Are All Calories the Same? Macronutrient Strategies for Weight Management (Zoom; OLLI @ ASU)

Zoom | Available (Membership Required)

Is a calorie from a cookie really the same as a calorie from a piece of chicken? This class digs into the science behind macronutrients, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and how they affect weight management and fat loss differently. We’ll explore what calories actually are, how the body expends energy, what energy balance means in practice, and how to determine your own macronutrient needs. You’ll come away with a clearer, more practical understanding of how food choices, not just calorie counts, shape your body composition and long-term health.
