It is a pretty long read but they take 2 people, put them in a pod and monitor them for 24 hours. They feed them, make them exercise and monitor their sleep.

2 people obviously doesn't make for a study but the results are interesting to me.

The guy weighs 182 at 5'11 and has 142 pounds of lean mass.

They do not give a weight for the female reporter but her lean mass is 93 pounds.

His BMR 1656 and hers is 1224. Over the course of 24 hours he burns 2098 calories and she burns 1638. (This is why even if you eat to the level of your BMR you are still creating a calorie deficit, because your burn calories over that amount just living and being active in a day.)

He burns 1.15 calories a minute and she burns .85. However they are each burning the same amount of calories per kilo of lean mass .02.

The Dr's say that metabolism between age 20 to 50 is pretty constant and doesn't really drop off a lot until 80.

Exercising increased their calorie burn 2.5 times normal for up to 2 hours after exercising.

Just for a frame of reference, my BMR is 1990 and my lean mass is 123 pounds.

I know this is old, but it is useful information. I have a belief system (lifetime of obesity and maintaining as a 6 year post sleever) that I need so little to eat.

I am doing a 6 week transformation through a local gym - and they want me to eat more than I think I should. However, when you actually stick to it - a person really isn't hungry, weight loss is slow but steady and it supports working out and building muscle and fitness since the Protein is very focused on lean Proteins, green veggies and limited but healthy carb and fat choices.

I know there are exceptions, but once you are maintaining, I don't think most people need to live on only 1000- 1200 calories a day or something. I think we try to stick to that kind of restrictive diet but then have days where more is consumed, via either drink or food.

I doubt it makes that much difference, but other than consuming workout supplements, I avoid eating 2 hours after an intense workout with the thought it might make a slight difference. During that 2 hour window, presumably the body is driven to convert fat to energy (And I currently have some extra fat).

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
