Look out people! There is a cruel reality to losing fat.......you have to work harder to maintain it! Here's the lowdown:
If you weigh 155lbs, one hour of jogging burns 493 calories. If you are 130lbs, the same hour only burns 413. The reason, the bigger you are, the more the body has to contend with and work harder to keep going. This brings an important point!
A 250lb bodybuilder needs about 4000 calories a day. A 250lb truck driver, needs about 2500 calories a day to stay the same weight. Why? Our bodies are engines, think of muscle as horsepower. The more horsepower, the more fuel you need. The more active you are, the more food you need. Got it!
So, increasing muscle, but even a small percentage, can help you eat more and stay the same weight! WOW!
