A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you weigh more, does that mean you burn calories faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: All things being equal - yes. However a person may have a high metabolic rate or a high percentage of muscle mass & burn calories faster than the person who weighs more.
