Pretty fast normally.  Add 60lbs of muscle, even quicker.
I probably burn as many calories at rest as most 350lb fat people...or more.
Nothing like eating whatever and still staying @8%...I mean 10%...so on getbig, I'd be 15%.

I'm pretty happy with mine. All I have to do to get shredded is take milk out of the meals. Otherwise I stay lean.

your body burns the energy as you sleep for muscle repair/ general activities = the food is no longer in your gut in the morning

I don't think metabolism varies as widely as people thinks it does.

Just saying "mines fast" does not answer the question.


Whats your BMRs? (Basal Metabolic Rate)


Edit: Deicide, the average BMR of a man is 2500-2700, every 10lbs of extra muscle your carrying ads like 200 to that.

I am old. I am pretty sure it is around 2000, maybe slighty better.

it's atleast 2500

That's an overestimate. I always round down in this case or in other cases up; always worse than we think, can't go wrong that way.

How is this number (200 / 10lbs) determined?

AFAIK, 1lb of fat has a BMR of 2 while 1lb of muscle has a BMR of 6. This would mean if you change your body composition for 10lbs more muscle while staying at the same weight, additional BMR would be 40.

My cutting phase right now my caloric intake is about 2400 calories a day without any cardio.  I would say my bmr would be about 2800 calories a day.

It doesn't.

Metabolism is one of those mis-used and misunderstood terms.

Metabolism is the sum of all the biochemical reactions in your body, and they all proceed at the same rate unless you have a fever.

A few of the things that may slightly alter metabolism is the thyroid gland, adding or losing muscle or starvation/semi-starvation.

Generally the more you weigh the more activity that has to take place in your body = more energy being used. 

Muscle tissue uses more energy than fat so that's why it's a generalization, plus your rate of physical and mental activiy. 

The body loses heat all the time so you're losing weight constantly unless you're currently eating/drinking.


metabolism =  heat energy lost/total energy (body weight)

ex 1 ) 150lbs man may burn 20 joules per hour
20/150 =   0.13 joules of heat lost per pound every hour.
250lb man may burn 30 joules per hour.
30/250   = 0.12 joules

so 150lbs man is a bit leaner and/or active than the bigger guy, because his rate is higher.

ex 2 ) 150lbs man burns 20 joules per hour
20/150 =   0.13 joules of heat lost per pound every hour.
250lb man may burn 40 joules per hour.
20/250   = 0.16 joules

so 250lbs man is leaner and/or active than the smaller guy.  (the 250lbs guy is eating on average 3840 calories (1 joule = 4 calories so 4 x 40 joules x 24hrs) a day.  (the 150lbs guy is eating 1920)
