8. Each extra kilogram of muscle burns 100 calories per day. According to 'Dissecting the energy needs of the body' (McClave, 2001) which gives a detailed description of the calorie requirements of various organs and tissues, at rest an extra kilo of muscle burns 13 cal per day as opposed to a kilo of fat which burns 4.5/kg/BW. This amount is insignificant, as it means that by adding 10kg of muscle, you will be burning an extra 130 calories per day. Woop de doo, eat a large banana.
9. You can gain 10 kilograms of muscle in 3 months. The reality is that a beginner is doing very well to gain 1kg of muscle in a month. Along with some fat. Maybe he can gain a touch more than that, in the first couple of months, but without steroids or muscle memory, that's about the best you can get. It slows down even further as you advance from the beginner stages.
