The Calories is a three-part miniseries about calorie counting and weight loss. After losing 100 pounds in 2015, Max Lasser started to understand why just being told to "eat healthy and exercise" hadn't been working for him for the past 12 years. In interviews with four experts from the Mayo Clinic, Mt. Sinai hospital and more, The Calories outlines why losing weight is so hard and why calorie counting might make it just a little bit easier.
