The single study is the only authoritative source of information on this topic. In support of your claim that my scientific study is wrong, you have not presented anything. One study in human beings always trumps the bullshit pulled out of your ass such as your subjective opinion.
This is utterly wrong. That study is not the only authoritative source of information. Here's a link that links to other scientific studies.

Are you seriously trying to tell us that your study is the only authoritative source anywhere?

The only reputable sources which would accurately measure caloric expenditure from muscle tissue are scientific studies that are published in peer reviewed journals. The only reputable source cited in this thread is the one I posted. Have you read it?
See the link above for studies and the peer-reviewed journals.

Is that what you mean by...

Exactly my point. 4 calories per day (according to your numbers) from one pound of pure muscle. That's jack squat; nothing. That's literally like a third of a peanut.
Yes, if you only GAINED ONE POUND of muscle.

BMR is what we are talking about. That isn't an additional thing to add on to the conversation. Sadly, you are really lost here. |
You really don't understand this topic, do you? Hint: I am not talking about the resting rate here. See the second link below (reference 6 and what Chris Scott says about it). Besides which the six calories is NOT a constant. Protein turnover can increase caloric expenditure in the hours or even days after exercise.

are those numbers on BMR correct?

that's like a fly sitting on a sperm whale.
considering almost everything I've ever read touts the benefits of a faster BMR with added muscle, that makes it either the biggest crock I've ever heard or read, or that figure is a bit on the low side.
I don't expect it to make a significant difference, but certainly more than 4 cals a day! |
This should clarify some things.

See in particular reference number 6 and what Chris Scott says. Also read about protein turnover. |
