I'm not sure rice is a great answer for that - highly glycemic. There have
been studies done on the effect of weightlifting, but I'll have to do some
digging. Are you disputing that muscle burns calories?

The bottom line is I agree most people can easily eat there way to being
overfat (composition being more important than weight). However, the
amount of calories burnt during the actual exercise isn't as important as
the effect on metabolism.
