    Great video guys! I think calorie counting has a lot to do with your mindset. I know for some it is very helpful to ensure they're fueling their bodies properly. Sometimes we don't realize how hard we're working! Because I struggled with eating disorders throughout high school I often used calorie counting apps to make sure I wasn't eating "too much" (aka starving myself). Hoping to get to a point where I can use it as a healthy tool myself!

    • @balletexpress3999
      @balletexpress3999 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for sharing your own experience. I can absolutely agree with you regarding the calorie counting, it's very easy to slip into that starve yourself mindset when using those apps.
