Why would I need citations for simple physics equation? A person with stronger muscles will lift more weight more times than a person with weaker muscles. Since more energy is needed to lift more weight, more energy will be expanded.
Can you point out the mistake in my reasoning, please?
> Most folks don't have the time to run a five-miler for each muffin they eat in a given day.
You are completely missing my argument. I am not saying that your average Joe can spend all the energy he eats through running. I am saying that your average Joe can start going to the gym, develop muscles, and eventually gain enough muscles to be able to expand as much energy as he eats. At that point, he will start losing weight, even if he's eating the same amount of food that he was eating before developing muscles.
> It's technically correct but totally unhelpful
That's totally your opinion, unless you have some citations.
