skeletal muscle metabolic activity?


how many times have you heard a lb of muscle burns 40-50 cals at rest?

seems that number has been inflated

in a paper Dissecting the energy needs of the body by Mcclave
there is a chart giving differnet energy needs for various tissues and organs

skeletal muscle 13kcal/kg per day
that is less than 6.5 kcal per lb

wow big difference from 40-50 cals

thanks

adipose or fat is metabolically inactive.

Not really.

Adipose cells store fat, or lipids which are metabolically inactive. The Fat cell itself requires energy to stor this fat as well as keep itself alive.
 
That's true but what was his question? It wasn't what is the metabolic energy requirement of stored fat, it was <div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">What's the comparison to the energy metabolized by adipose tissue?</div>
