could've picked a better analogy that don't reinforce the fitness myth that fat "turns into" muscle.

fat is fat. muscle is muscle. one does not convert into another. it can be broken down into energy to be used but ultimately each cell starts from scratch.

Burn fat = PIP bottom 6%

Grown new muscle = Hire new workers
