So resting metabolic rate varies between people based off of genetics and the amount of lean muscle mass that you have. And so lean muscle mass, every pound of lean muscle mass that you have adds 10 calories per day as an extra calorie burn, which doesn't seem like a whole lot. But if you go from somebody that has very, very small amounts of muscle mass, then you add on 30 pounds of muscle.

All of a sudden, you've got 300 extra calories that you can work with each day.

know so it it adds up over time and that genetic component is certainly one that is is in play and it's unfortunately something that you can't influence so when we talk about resting metabolic rate i usually like to tell people to really focus on those things that they can control you know you can control what you put in your mouth so you can have some effect on thermic effect of food you can certainly control your need you can control your exercise activity thermogenesis

So when we talk about the resting metabolic rate being different upwards of about 800 calories, yes, that's true. And so it can put people at a disadvantage when compared to somebody else as far as how many calories they're going to burn naturally throughout the day.

But the only things that you can really do is adjust your activity levels and the amount of food that you take in to account for those differences.

We keep talking about all these different benefits from having lean muscle mass. And it's cool because every different topic that you bring up, we can say, hey, look, here's another reason to do this. And hopefully we start to sell people on this idea that maybe that's the answer that I haven't had all along.
