i need some answers please?............?

Question

is it true that when your muscles get stronger, they burn more calories than those that aren't, even when not as active, such as sitting down?
plus, how much calories do you burn in a night's sleep? (i'm not concerned about myself, i'm just curious)

Answer 1

Yes, your whole metbolism worksbetter when you do regular exercise.
For the seccond question: 1 calorie per kilogram of body weight per hour. ie; if you weight 50 kg and you sleep 8 hours
the equation goes like this 1X50X8=400 .

Exercise is the best and safest way to lose excess fat and maintain a healthy weight. Tough muscles weight more than fat. One's overall health, mood and looks will greatly improve with regular exercise.

Eating a balanced diet is also important, to keep those muscles healthy, lots and lots of vegetables and fruit, grains, dairy and protein with just a little fat such as olive oil or nuts. One should also drink plenty of water before, during and after a work-out.

Answer 2

As your muscle mass grows, your muscles need more calories in order to function adquately. Thus, you will need to eat more. Of course, you should always mind your diet and not eat tons of junk food.

The best thing about weight training is that once your muscles get into shape, you'll continut burning calories after your workout. It's true. Since your muscles are still processing the exercise, you can sit down to watch TV after a workout, and you'll still be sweating. That's a good sign. Strength training speed up your metabolism, which will help you stay in shape or lose weight.

Just remember, don't overdo yourself and never take steroids or anything like that. The best way to get muscle growing quickly is to consume a lot of protein.

By the way, you burn little calories when you're sleeping because you body basically shuts down, and so you don't burn much of anything.

Answer 3

it is true that muscles burn more calories than fat, so when the muscles get stronger, it makes sense that they would burn more calories. i'm not sure about the whole sleep thing, but i do know that muscles themselves will burn calories when you are being active. other things, including basic body and brain functions, require around 700 calories per day, i believe, regardless of if you are being active or not.

Answer 4

Yes, it is true, and remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Many people who start working out along with dieting get very frustrated when they not only don't lose weight, but gain weight. You must remember that that type of weight is a good thing. As far as how many calories burned during sleeping, I have no idea.

Answer 5

Stronger muscles burn more calories because they hav more capacity to store proteins, fats and carb. than those that aren't.
So they also hav more capacity to burn more calories.

Muscles don't burn calories when inactive.

While sleeping, respiratory muscles like intercostal muscles, diaphragm etc burn some calories for breathing.

While sleeping calories r burnt in a negligible amount.

Bt for digestion, calories are burnt more than muscles.
During sleep, our most calories are burnt for digestion and other absorptive, metabolic processes occuring in d body.

While doing physical exercise and doing muscle work, more caloaries are burnt by muscles than Digestive System...

Thank U!

Answer 6

Yup, it's true.
The calories you burn in a day depend on your basal metabolic rate (the calories you burn just to keep your body alive), and the amount of exercise you do.
People with more muscles have a higher basal rate, so burn more just sitting around. The calories you burn during sleep depend on your basal rate.

Answer 7

You burn less calories in your sleep than when you do all day. That's why you shouldn't eat 3 hours before bed time. Your body only needs enough calories for REM sleep. If you do eat before bed you will just store those extra calories as fat.

Answer 8

Yes - - - more muscles more calories consumed - - - but you must keep up the exercise or all those muscles will turn into fat.

Answer 9

Yes its true. Not sure how many you burn in your sleep everyone is differnt.

Answer 10

Think its true
