One thing that often gets overlooked is that muscles consume much more calories just for maintenance. So if you build a substantial amount of muscle, your base calorie consumption goes up and even if you don't love a lot on a particular day you burn more calories and gain less weight.

Is the effect really that significant? A cursory Google search suggests not. [1] Either way I don't see most Americans getting jacked any time soon.

Yeah, I'm going to guess it doesn't make a huge difference.

Though, I am sympathetic to the idea that some foods encourage you to be more active. At least, some do the opposite. Eating a full pizza will almost certainly not be followed by anything active.

Oddly, following anything active with eating a pizza seems better.

> even if you don't love a lot

That's a good typo there :)
