    Resistance training is also meant to help a lot.

    If you’re eating a lot of protein and not lifting, it’s gonna get stored as fat.

    Muscle also burns extra calories at rest, though it’s more like 6 calories per pound per day. But if you put on 20lbs of muscle over the course of a year, that’s an extra 120 idle calories burned, which is not a number to scoff at.
