    If you want to eat more you need to workout more to burn calories...which you can then eat.

    Or build some muscle, this will enable your body to burn more calories whilst not working out.

    I simply cannot see how eating many meals as opposed to 3 meals can make you burn more calories. How would that work exactly? Your body suddenly burns more because you eat more frequently? Why would it do that?

    Each new pound of muscle only burns an extra 6 calories a day, so to burn an extra 200 the op would have to add like 23 pounds of muscle lol. Considering how hard it is to gain muscle, have fun with that

    But I think that's at rest, muscle also burns more in use than other tissue, but you are right, it's still a pretty small effect. Increasing activity is the way to go.

    What will happen to your knees if you jog 2 miles everyday? Will injury occur from repetitive stress?

    Not sure if srs...

    Burning 200 extra calories a day isn't that difficult to do through moderate exercise,, and even quicker if you do some HIIT training foe about 25 minutes ...
