unorthodox OPS

With Daniel Cohee – I'm on a streak! I've made it onto their weekly engagement list 3 weeks in a row. 🎉

Your body isn't just burning calories during your workout—it's burning them 24/7 based on what you carry.
💪 Every pound of muscle requires roughly 9 calories per day just to maintain. 🧈 Every pound of body fat requires only about 2 calories per day.
The takeaway?
If you're serious about building strength and transforming your body, don't become obsessed with eating as little as possible. When you're training hard, your body needs enough calories, protein, and nutrients to build and maintain muscle.
More lean muscle means a higher resting calorie burn, better performance, and a stronger, more resilient body.
Stop starving your progress. Fuel your mission.
Train hard. Recover harder. Build the engine—not just a smaller number on the scale.
