Prior to posting this information, I did make an attempt to check the accuracy of this data. It was supported by several articles and studies, including one issued by Mayo Clinic and one I found on WebMD. Upon reading Steve's little critique, I performed a bit more research into the subject. After doing so, I learned that newer studies suggest that muscle mass burns only around 6 calories more per day than does fat.

Therefore, I digress.

All that being said, I will say this: The critique itself was the author's attempt to dispel inaccurate information. An appropriate action. However, perhaps it would have been prudent if, somewhere within the critique of the post, the inadvertent inaccuracy was expanded upon instead of simply portraying a "this is stupid, moving on" tone. Just a thought.
