The resting metabolic rate of muscle is 6 calories per pound. You will only burn 6 more calories for each pound of muscle added.


"The key to fat loss is an ENERGY DEFICIT" - Anthony Colpo




And one more thing:


HIIT has NEVER been shown any better for fat loss than regular cardio. Dr. Tremblay himself ADMITS this.

STOP misrepresenting Dr. Tremblay's original 1994 study comparing intervals with steady state for fat loss, you HIIT promoting scum.


ANY WAY you can create am ENERGY DEFICIT (creating a chronic negative energy balance over time ) will work for fat loss , but HIIT does NOT burn many calories at all compared to regular cardio of 30 minutes or more , so you will have to be VERY , VERY STRICT and CAREFUL about energy intake if you chose HIIT.
