So, you’ve increased your protein intake… now what?
Be sure your putting time in increasing lean muscle mass. Why?
Lean muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat, a body with more muscle mass will require more energy (calories) even at rest.
A 2003 study concluded that increases of 2.2 to 4.5 lbs. of muscle mass may result in an increase the basal metabolic rate by about 50 kilocalories per day.
This small change does help to close the “energy gap” between energy intake and energy expenditure.
Strength training helps to increase your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by increasing the amount of lean muscle on your body. Perform at least two 30-minute pure strength training workout weekly.
Be sure to switch up your workouts frequently and make changes to acute training variables: repetitions, sets, training intensity, training volume, repetition tempo, rest interval, exercise selection, exercise order, training duration, training frequency.
