Why does exercising increase muscle mass?
Because the muscle cells that are in the muscles break away from the rest of the muscle cells when exercising and are brought back together when protein is taken in. This causes muscle mass to increase
Why does muscle mass increase?
When you do excessive work, your muscles can become strained beyond their limits. This causes very tiny tears in the muscle tissues. (This is why you feel sore after a workout.) When your body is given time to heal, the torn tissue is mended with more muscle tissue. This is what causes an increase in muscle mass.
What is the harmful effects of weightlessness?
Weightlessness causes the bones to soften and muscle mass to reduce.
Is there a disease that causes muscle growth?
myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy which increases muscle mass while lowering body fat. This rare condition is also called myotonic hypertrophy
Whats the difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy?
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.

You lost weight but gained body fat?
If you were to lose only muscle mass, your total weight would decrease, but your body fat percentage would increase, as you'd be a greater percent body fat.
Is your metabolism messed up if you used to be anorexic and you're now eating around 1400 calories a day and can't stop gaining weight?
If you were anorexic, you probably lost a lot of muscle mass. It will take you a while to build back muscle and muscle is where you burn calories. Try building muscle mass. Eat plenty of calories and specifically 60 to 80 protein grams or more and exercise to build back muscle mass. You really need to get healthy again and you'll only do that by building muscle.
When you gain muscle do you gain pounds?
Yes, because as the size of your muscle increases, the mass of your muscle increases. And when the mass of your muscle increases, so does the weight.
