Muscle is muscle. A pound of muscle burns about 35-50 calories a day, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. If you're looking to put on muscle in order to burn more calories in your diet, then you should work your entire body to allow each body part to grow, and give each part a few days rest in order to recover and rebuild.

All body mass requires some amount of energy to remain functioning and fueled. With more muscle mass, more energy is required to maintain levels of oxygen and glucose.
