Are Men more calorie burners than women?
We've all heard that men are more likely to lose weight and burn calories while exercising. There are tales of men eating all kinds of junk food, hitting the gym, and losing a lot of weight, as well as tales of women working hard to lose a pound. Do men really burn calories more quickly than women, though?
Women typically have less lean muscle mass than men do, and lean muscle mass burns more calories than body fat. Men do lose more weight more quickly than women when they reduce their caloric intake by the same amount. However, exercise regimens frequently highlight the distinction.
In one study, popular diets like Weight Watchers, Slim-Fast, and Atkins were given to both men and women. After two months, the women had lost three times as much body fat and two times as much weight as the men. But after six months, there was no longer any discernible difference in weight loss between the sexes.
Men have more testosterone and less estrogen than women. And women have up to 11% more body fat than men to help them during pregnancy. These are factors that really influence the calories burned and the weight loss process in men vs in women.
Men tend to lose weight around their belly, so it’s often more immediately noticeable when overweight men start losing weight than when women do. So women tend to lose weight at a slower pace than men because their fat stores are typically more spread out in areas like butt and legs.
At the end of the day, calories burned by men and women is the result of a hard work for both genders. So it doesn’t matter what your gender is, you just have to be persistent and patient to succeed in weight loss.
