Energy Flux Defined
- Energy flux is the turnover between calories eaten and calories expended through movement and activity.
- Brandon DeCruz frames it as "eat more, move more" to fuel performance and recovery while staying lean.
Coaching Pivot From Rebound Dieting
- Brandon DeCruz started building his high energy flux model after seeing clients regain fat post-diet repeatedly.
- He shifted focus from quick fat loss to long-term fat loss maintenance and metabolic recovery.
Two Maintenance Paths
- Maintenance can occur in two states: low energy flux (low intake, low output) or high energy flux (high intake, high output).
- High flux lets you eat more while staying lean because total daily energy expenditure matches intake.
