[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 134375, member: 18023"] Very interesting, thanks for posting that. I had always thought that lean muscle burning a few more calories than fat was kind of a trivial contribution to fat loss, and often suspected that the calories burned calculator on gym equipment over estimated the calories burned as a kind of marketing tool. I thought maybe the calories burned were including the basal metabolism rate in addition to the added effort. It just didn't feel like because I "burned" 500 calories on a treadmill I could eat that much more without gaining weight. But I would have never guessed that total energy expenditure between very active people and moderately active people is not that great. For me exercise seemed to help me reset my set point of when I get hungry. Meaning if don't exercise and I lose weight I tend to get hungry easier than if I lose weight and exercise. I reduce my food intake either way, but it seems easier when exercising a significant amount. But I seldom exercise for longer than 2 hours. So doesn't that mean all the charts one sees that estimate how many calories we should consume that are based on current weight and how active we are, that most of those are wrong? [/QUOTE]
