The Science Behind Weight Loss: Calories and Composition
How do calorie intake and burn determine weight gain or loss?
What constitutes the weight gained during rapid weight gain periods?
How much of rapid weight gain is actually fat?
What is the role of glycogen in weight fluctuations?
How does muscle growth compare in experienced athletes and beginners?
What happens to muscle mass during calorie deficit and weight loss?
How can muscle loss be prevented during a weight loss regime?
Important Highlights
"Weight gain occurs when calorie intake exceeds calorie burn, leading to fat accumulation."
"An excess of 3,500 calories results in approximately one extra pound of fat."
"Rapid weight gain often involves both fat and glycogen, which binds with water."
"Glycogen and water changes primarily cause initial rapid weight changes."
"Muscle growth is slow, even with optimal nutrition, forming a small part of weight gain."
"During weight loss, the initial pounds lost are mostly water and glycogen."
"Preventing muscle loss during weight loss requires adequate protein intake and strength training."
