[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 171335, member: 38594"] Unfortunately, increasing ACTUAL muscle mass by 50 lb happens only to bodybuilders on anabolic steroids and/or TRT. That scenario does not apply to people like me that just work out. Also, a body weight increase includes increases in body fat and water retention, not only muscle mass. So your increase in actual muscle mass was probably 50% of what you think, again leading to a quite insignificant increase in metabolic rate by 150 calories/day. The 4.5lb of muscle mass increase was cited because it is the typical muscle mass increase of ordinary people on several months of strength training program in studies. Clearly for that group the increase in metabolic rate is insignificant and telling them to "just make more muscles to burn fat" is just a misguided bro-science. [/QUOTE]
