I would have to agree with that statement, woohoosue, gaining the amount of muscle equal to 250 calories, would increase your metabolism by 250 calories/day. You would have to eat 250 calories of protien more/day to sustain this muscle tissue. So a female who's basal metabolic rate is... lets say 2200 adds the amount equal to 250 cals of muscle would increase her daily amount of calories burned just from "being" upto 2450. What is your profession btw... i'm guessing a something in a health related field?
