In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber sit down with Bob Seebohar – registered dietitian, exercise physiologist, founder of the Metabolic Efficiency Training™ concept and Energy Performance, and author of Metabolic Efficiency Training (3rd Edition).

Bob shares how failing his first sprint triathlon as a "land athlete" soccer player became the catalyst for a career spent in the trenches with athletes. He walks through the origins of nutrition periodization, the birth of metabolic efficiency testing, and why traditional "just eat more carbs" advice often leads to GI distress, underperformance, and confusion—especially for recreational athletes.

You'll hear how metabolic carts, substrate oxidation data, and smart training can transform an athlete from a carb-dependent "sugar burner" into a fat-burning, metabolically efficient machine, all while improving health, longevity, and performance.

• Bob's unique path from exercise physiologist to registered dietitian and how that dual background shaped Metabolic Efficiency Training.

• Why energy systems matter (aerobic vs anaerobic) and how misunderstanding them wrecked Bob's first triathlon—and shaped his entire career.

• The origin of nutrition periodization and why athletes should eat to train, not train to eat.

• How GI distress in endurance sports led Bob to develop metabolic efficiency testing and rethink high-carb race fueling.

• What metabolic efficiency testing actually measures:

  • Fat vs carbohydrate oxidation

  • The metabolic efficiency (crossover) point

  • Calories burned per hour

  • How to turn that data into precise fueling plans

• Why so many recreational runners and triathletes show up as "pure carb burners" on the metabolic cart—and what to do about it.

• The difference between elite fueling strategies and what's realistic (and safe) for everyday athletes.

• How optimizing blood sugar and fat oxidation improves performance and long-term health and longevity.

• Why Zone 2 training is so uncomfortable mentally, and how heart rate monitors should mostly be used to hold you back, not push you harder.

• How metabolic efficiency testing can guide calorie and carbohydrate intake per hour instead of guessing from generic "30–90g carbs per hour" charts.

• The role of metabolic flexibility and how to train your body to use the right fuel at the right time.

• The power of N=1 experiments and why self-testing (with good equipment) is one of the fastest ways to gain coaching wisdom.

• Why Bob advocates simple, qualitative nutrition models instead of obsessive calorie and macro counting for most people.

• The difference between biological hunger, habitual hunger, and emotional hunger, and how each one affects performance and body composition.

• How often you should feel hungry if your blood sugar and fat oxidation are dialed in.

• Why Bob waited 10 years to release the 3rd edition of Metabolic Efficiency Training and what's new in it (masters athletes, updated strategies, case studies).
