No shit more muscle means you have a higher basal metabolic rate. Everyone always fucking knew that.

They're getting their data from n=7 samples. What the actual fuck. They could've selected for mice who eat slightly less and ones who eat slightly more. Plus they use aged versus young mice. Everyone knows lab mice go under waaaay more stress than necessary -- they're ignoring the effects of a stress-induced life versus normal. They're proving again and again that the mouse model should not be used for metabolism due to stress factors all throughout its lives.

Overall this is pretty shit science. A bunch of worthless western blots and correlations between their little handpicked mice.
