Full body training incorporates the most muscle recruitment per exercise, which means you get
more caloric expenditure, muscle activation, culminating in more muscle tone.

* Make it a quickie If you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, burn
more fat and increase
caloric expenditure — while spending less time working out — high intensity interval training (HIIT) is ideal.
If you don't consume enough protein and enough calories, your body will cannibalize your muscles — a good safe limit is not to reduce your calories by
more than 20 % below your TDEE (Total Daily Energy
Expenditure), to find a muscle - safe
caloric intake for dieting please use my calorie calculator.
Therefore, the total number of calories that you burn in a given day (i.e. your daily
caloric expenditure) can be determined by adding your BMR, the calories that you have burned to support physical activity, and the calories that you have burned to support digestion of food (this is generally 10 % or so of the total number of calories that you have consumed, read
more about this in our Thermic Effect of Food article), as follows:
As researchers in this review pointed out, ``... the 3500 - kcal rule predicts that a person who increases daily energy
expenditure by 100 kcal by walking 1 mile (1.6 km) per day will lose
more than 50 lb (22.7 kg) over a period of 5 years, the true weight loss is only about 10 lb (4.5 kg), assuming no compensatory increase in
caloric intake, because changes in mass concomitantly alter the energy requirements of the body.»
No matter how hard you try to burn additional calories through crazy training, or express your type - A, workaholic tendencies to get
more done across the board, you're ultimately constrained by your own personal daily maximum
caloric expenditure.

more, Tabata has been shown to higher
caloric expenditure up to 13.5 calories per minute and increase metabolic rate (fat burning) for 30 minutes after the workout ends.
If you don't consume enough protein and enough calories, your body will cannibalize your muscles — a good safe limit is not to reduce your calories by

You can then layer in
more exercise as needed to increase your

more than 30 % of
caloric expenditure as protein per day long term generates ammonia overload.
While every exercise has a place in any training routine, there are some that perhaps give you
more reward, such as
caloric expenditure, strength, flexibility, endurance, better bone health, and even greater motivation.
Bottom Line: Balancing
caloric intake and energy
expenditure can be helpful for athletes looking to get
more in touch with their
caloric needs, but calorie counting does not directly relate to performance gains and the devices just aren't technologically advanced enough yet to measure energy
expenditure in sport - specific movements.
