This aspect of metabolism accounts forrepparttar 105979 greatest number of calories burned every day. What happens is that if lean weight should be lost because of increased protein metabolism, then RMR decreases. Typically, you would see this happen when a person goes on a very strict diet. In this situation,repparttar 105980 body is forced into a negative nitrogen balance, which means a greater amount of protein is lost than what is replaced because of less protein/energy intake. When this imbalance occurs, there is a gradual loss of lean weight, which then lowers RMR.

What happens many times is that dieters will limitrepparttar 105981 amount of lean weight loss with intense exercise forrepparttar 105982 muscles to develop a need to maintain more protein.
