How does muscle mass affect metabolism and fat loss?
Muscle mass is metabolically active tissue, meaning it requires energy even at rest. A higher muscle mass increases the basal metabolic rate, aiding in fat loss. Conversely, individuals with low muscle mass, like those who are 'skinny fit', often struggle to lose fat because their metabolism is slower, leading to a higher likelihood of gaining fat when they resume eating normally after dieting.
