That is a similar ethos to what is sometimes espoused here, which is that 1lb of added muslce burns an extra 45-50 calories a day and if they burn, they can't store as Fat, so more muscle mass impacts positively on fat levels, providing what is done to achieve that mass, is implemented properly each time, by which I mean not allowing a combination of poor exercise choices, excessive exertion and serious technique flaws, to creep into the training :).
