    I don't know where you got 1lb of muscle burns 300 calories per hour, but this is serious misinformation on a reputable looking website. This would mean that for every pound of muscle I gain, I would burn 7200 calories in a 24 hour period! I'd be dead in a week on my 1500 calorie plan. What were you thinking quoting that?

    If you do your research, Tom Venuto quotes it at around 50 calories per day, per pound of muscle, and I tend to believe him.

    Correction:

    Muscle burns approximately 30-35 calories per hour but even that's a rough estimate. It really depends on the workout you are doing and at what intensity. The 30-35 comes from just being more metabolic. At the time, I do believe I was thinking that a person with 10 lbs of extra muscle would burn 300 more calorie per hour being sedentary than a person who didn't have as much.

    Thanks for pointing out this discrepancy.

    I love the 5 - 6 meal rule. I find it quite annoying that people don't know that if they actually eat times throughout the day, it's healthier. Whether you're larger or smaller, eating 5 - 6 meals is way healthier. Doing this will keep you less hungry and it will help keep you away from the junk food.

    Another thing I want to point out to people who are a little heavier or are simply afraid of weights. Start off slow. Don't burn yourself out so quick that you'll give up losing weight altogether. Weight loss is a stepping stone process.

    1) Eliminate bad foods slowly - Maybe you eat 5 Snicker bars a day. Eliminate 2 a week. Maybe you eat ice cream every night. Eat it every other night until you have it cut out altogether.

    2) Maybe you don't walk at all. Start walking 20 minutes a day. Then 30. Then 40. Just take your time. Slow down. It's all a time process.

    3) In the mean time. Quit trying to lose weight all at once. It's just not going to happen. Again, it's a time thing. Slowly build your way up.

    4) Finally, you don't have to get EXTREME to lose weight. Unless you want to lose it all in 6 weeks which is likely still not possible, take your time. Again, slowly cut bad foods out of your diet. Slowly add workouts into your daily life and you'll be just fine.

    Agreed?

    Hey Marc,

    As always great info! I for one love to get my workouts done quick usually within 45 mins. I find that by keeping it within that time frame, it really allows my cardiovascular conditioning to be at it's best.

    Keep training hard bro!!

    Again it starts the confusion what's best for weight loss weight training or cardio. I must admit I've always used weights as I find it less boring then cardio.
