A member asked:
Could men lose weight faster and easier than women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often - the answer : is yes. This is because men (on average) have more muscle mass. A man may burn 20% more calories than a woman of the same height at rest. On average, men are about five inches taller than women – so that is also a contributor.
