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%.

just before bet last night I ate 2 noodles packets. aka 1000kcal.

And I weighed less in the morning the the morning before.

I have no idea why.

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.

Very slow, maybe BMR of 2000cal.

Method101 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:56:01 PM »

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.

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.
