Control your weight, Interesting Fact

As you gain muscle, your body gains a bigger "engine" to burn calories more efficiently — which can result in weight loss. The more toned your muscles, the easier it is to control your weight.

It does to me as well however when I know I'm doing a bunch of weight lifting at the gym I keep proteins such as peanuts and jerky in my vehicle for the ride home to tide me over until I can get home and make a healthy hearty meal to replentish my muscles

Yes. That's why it's better to strength train from the beginning because as you build muscle, the muscle works FOR you. Muscle burns fat.

I have a protein shake right after the workout too. To try to curb the hunger and add protein and BCAAs

on About.com:

Weight training is increasingly recommended as a fat-busting tool because some experts say extra muscle burns more energy than body fat at rest, so if you develop more muscle and have a higher muscle to fat ratio than before, you must burn extra energy and more stored fat as a result.

This is true and has been shown in metabolic studies. However, the differences are not that dramatic; perhaps less than a few tens of calories per day for each pound of muscle increased, for most people.

But there are, of course, other benefits to weight training.
