Does extra muscle burn extra calories?

I've lost count of how many times I've read about adding muscle to your body so you can burn more calories every day. But does extra muscle actually burn any extra calories?

For every pound of muscle you can add you will burn around 6-12 extra calories per day.

So all you need to do is add around 20lbs of muscle and you'll be burning through a pound of fat every couple of weeks... But hang on a second, what would that much muscle even look like? Well imagine a pound of meat then try sticking 20 of them on your body... Not pretty! Plus even a guy would struggle for years to add that much muscle, let alone a woman.

Want a much more efficient way to burn calories? Either use cardio or just eat a little less. Both result in less calories at the end of the day.
