He<\/strong> loses four kilos. She<\/strong> loses her pati\u00adence. But what are the reasons for this \u201cgender weight gap\u201d?<\/p>\n Muscle mass: The starting point is not identical<\/strong><\/p>\n On average, men have around 10\u201315% more fat-free mass than women of the same age. The share of skeletal muscle is about 40\u201345% of body weight in men, and more like 30\u201335% in women. More muscle mass, however, also means a higher basal meta\u00adbolic rate: One kilo\u00adgram of fat-free mass burns about 13\u201315 kcal per day at rest.<\/p>\n Energy regu\u00adla\u00adtion: Earlier counter-regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n In women, hormonal regu\u00adla\u00adtion reacts more sensi\u00adtively to energy defi\u00adcits. The level of the satiety hormone leptin can drop by 30\u201350% even with mode\u00adrate rest\u00adric\u00adtion, while the hunger hormone ghrelin increases. At the same time, adap\u00adtive ther\u00admo\u00adge\u00adnesis reduces energy expen\u00additure by 5\u201315%.<\/p>\n Cycle: Weight is not a fixed refe\u00adrence value<\/strong><\/p>\n Weight fluc\u00adtua\u00adtions of 1\u20132 kg within a cycle are physio\u00adlo\u00adgical. In the luteal phase, basal meta\u00adbolic rate increases by 2\u201310%, while at the same time, in many women spon\u00adta\u00adneous energy intake increases by 90\u2013500 kcal per day. Proges\u00adte\u00adrone addi\u00adtio\u00adnally promotes fluid retention.<\/p>\n\n
