Sorry, ive made quite a few posts today and really dont have the will to type out a long winded answer to this one. Basically the synthesis of new muscle requires extra calories/energy surplus, you cant make something out of nothing, right?

Question about calorie surplus
I know this sounds like a silly question but I was just twiddling my thumbs alone in a dark corner and started contemplating the question that is life.
Then just before I went mad, I asked myself this question: what is actually included in our metabollic demands??
Say our maintenance is 2900. What does that include?? I know it involves all our energy demands for the day; mainly in moving and stuff. But isn't protein synthesis (why we need carbs for making muscle) included in this figure? Every other biological reaction is accounted for in this figure, bar protein synthesis. Why? Surely there's a way to build as much muscle as we can without putting any fat on.
If we eat at our maintenance or just slightly below, we can still grow; eg teens, yet we are sub-par. Why can this happen and not muscle growth below this figure?
What are your thoughts. I'm not challenging anything, just contemplating.
