Sal Di Stefano says small muscle gains allow 1,000 extra daily calories

What was said

"“It’s hundreds of cases where I’ve seen clients who have just only added 5, 5 or 6 pounds of muscle but are able to eat 1,000 more calories a day and not put on body fat. Yep. So it doesn’t math, uh, based off it.”"

Sal Di Stefano says he has seen clients gain 5–6lb of muscle while eating around 1,000 more calories a day without adding body fat. He argues this conflicts with claims that added muscle only modestly raises daily calorie burn, and suggests measurement methods may miss relevant metabolic changes.
