Why do humans have to eat so much to maintain muscle?

Lions, Tigers, Sharks......etc. big game predators are huge and shreded all the time. They go weeks without a meal sometimes and can still crush a weightroom.

Not fair at all. They sleep all day too.

I'd like to learn the secret.

....Actually even if you don't have muscle, 3 meals a day?

I'm missing something.

Generally, lower animals can survive longer without food.  Time depends on body reserves and consumption rate.  Sleeping cold blooded animals don't need fuel for body temperature.  Highly active warm blooded animals deplete reserves sooner.  For examples, dogs 38 days, frogs 16 months and snakes 2 years.

I think you'll find that big apex predators eat a much higher % of their biomass when they do eat, than humans do. 

fat cells are easy to make a simplier anobolic acid group muscle is nutrients and stress.... but john hopkins give you a great more detail to muscle vs brorn fat study...
