How to know if you are losing muscle #mikementzer #fitness #bodybuilding #weightloss #diet

One will know when he is too low in calories by the fact that he will stop dropping pounds precipitously. Rather than one to two pounds a week, he’ll start losing 4 to £5 a week, or even more. This rate of weight loss is indicative that one muscles have begun to catabolize, the least of which is that the loss of lean mass will slow down the metabolism since muscle only has 600 calories per pound. Versus the 3500 calories per pound of fat, the body will burn up to six pounds of muscle to get the same caloric yield as from one pound of fat. Hence the much increased rate of weight loss. #mikementzer #fitness #bodybuilding #weightlifting #diet #weightloss #gym #gymmotivation
