your a wood stove
when you want to keep a house warm with a wood stove...you don't cram it so full of wood that nothing more can fit in...and then let it burn out and then start over again....
what you do is to keep putting a log in to maintain the fire in the stove so that it puts out consistant heat...
your metabolism is quite similar ....so if you keep the fire burning with a small log your burning fuel more efficently....otherwise you just store what you dont need imdiately til later when eating a big meal.
and....
when you starve yourself to loose weight your body says i'm gonna preserve this amount of fat for emergencies and will burn up muscle tissue first before it burns the fat . But when you create more muscle mass then you've increased the proverbial size of your wood stove until your metabolism is working even at rest.
hope this analogy makes sense
