Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscle is actually more metabolically active than fat, meaning that it requires more calories to maintain. This is why resistance training, which builds muscle, is associated with an increased resting metabolic rate. A larger person (assuming they have more muscle mass) may have a higher resting metabolism, and someone with a higher resting metabolic rate who is more physically active will require more calories to fuel their activity.
