Whoa..quote the source of that fact. In my experience, not everyone's metabolism is the same. THAT is an undeniable fact. Also, if i had a woman at 2000 calories a day, and she worked out with me, she'd be less than 120lbs..guaranteed.

The souce of that fact is 100 years of research and the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Metabolism is the same for all humans plus or minus 5%
The figure I use are for a moderately active woman. Certainly a 130 pound woman doing an hour of intense training is going to burn close to 1000 calories.
Here are the figures for a moderately active 25 yearold 130 pound woman
Resting (basal) metabolic rate: 1273 calories per day
Typical daily activities: 654 calories per day
Total calories burned: 1928 per day
My premise is sound. If she has low body fat and high muscle mass her metabolism would be higher than 1928.
By plus or minus I am referring to the BMR. Activity is the same. Work is work. Heat and energy are mutally convertable. If 2 women raise a ten pound weight 10 feet they are doing the same amount of work and therefore expending the same amount of calories. |
