The More Muscle Mass, The More Calorie Burning
If you’re someone that is primarily looking to build muscle naturally and gain weight fast, you may be wondering why you need to know a fact about calorie burning, since as you may know by my other writings that regardless of what kind of calories you’re eating you have to eat more than what your body burns to be able to gain mass.
Well, you still want to have an efficient metabolism, since you’ll want the majority of the calories you eat to go towards lean muscle tissue, and not body fat…..that’s why you want to know.
One pound of muscle burns, or uses up, 50 calories. That means that the more muscle mass you have on your body the more calories you’ll be able to properly use and handle. That’s why you can have a heavily muscled individual that can eat all kinds of so-called of forbidden foods, such as pizza, ice cream, and fries, without gaining any body fat.
