Thread: Did you know???

I'm assuming this is over a one day period

Yeah, probably throughout the day. Muscle supposedly consumes 30-50 calories a day per pound.

actually we had a thread here a while ago (like a year plus) where that myth was busted. muscle is not that much more metabolically active than fat when at rest. however, as Dale pointed out, once the muscle becomes active its a different story (ie walking, picking stuff up etc)

It's only more metabolically active when you are.

I actually do seem to recall something about that, but most of the stuff I read still says otherwise. Was it a study or something? I forget.
