Energy Equals Muscle Mass

The relationship between energy and mass is relevant in many aspects of life. One of the most well known is Einstein's ground breaking theory of relativity equation. In layman's terms, it basically proves the equivalency of energy and mass. Oddly enough, on the topic of nutrition and weight management, a similar phenomenon holds true.

Our bodies derive energy from the foods we eat. These foods contain nutrients that are the building blocks of the human body. So, in essence, consumed energy equals the mass that makes us who we are. That gives a whole new meaning to the old adage, "You are what you eat!" Who knew bodybuilding could be so thought provoking once you scratch past the surface? ;)
