The point I was trying to make is that even if it doesn't increase your metabolism, it increases your minimum caloric need. So, you can eat more without getting fat, or you can lose fat without eating less. It's not even "can", you must eat more to meet your kcal minimum. That's well documented scientifically as well. So ultimately the effect is the same, it's easier to lose fat when you have more muscles.

Watch the video. Or don't. I don't care. Everything you said is strictly true, but unless you look like a body builder, it's not as big of a calorie drain as many people think.
