Stupid Question: Who would lose weight faster, a fluffy fat guy or a solid fat guy?

[Leander]

Lets say you have two men who are the same height, weight and age. Both of these men do the exact same type of diet and exercise regimine.

Which one would lose weight easier the guy who's fat and fluffy or the guy who's fat but solid?

That's easy, the solid one. Muscle burns calories just sitting there. Fat only burns like 2 calories per hour. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest.

Yes,If the solid guy has more muscle mass he would get leaner faster, the more musle mass you have the higher is your metabolism.
So he would be at a higher caloric deficit than the fluffy one.

Depends on how you look at it. The fluffy guy will lose more fat doing the same workout and diet for two reasons: One, he simply has more fat to lose. Two, going from a sedentary life to an active one will burn a great deal of fat right off the bat. During the first month, the fluffy guy will lose fat like a mad man. The solid guy is likely dealing with stubborn fat that is a bitch to get rid of.
