Calories & streak energy

Keep the fire going. Energy in, energy out - know your numbers.

Fat loss and performance both run on energy balance. You don't need to count every almond, but you should know roughly where you stand.

Quick wins

  • 01A 30-minute kettlebell session typically burns 250 - 450 kcal depending on intensity and body weight.
  • 02For fat loss, aim for a 300 - 500 kcal daily deficit. Bigger deficits cost you muscle and energy.
  • 03Daily steps move more total calories than any single workout. Target 8 - 10k.
  • 04Don't 'eat back' workout calories - most trackers overestimate by 20 - 40%.
  • 05Streak energy compounds. One workout is a workout; ten in a row is an identity.
