Dont worry so much about that. EAT RIGHT, gain a lot of muscle and strength which in turn will increase your metabolism so your body will need more calories as fuel. This will keep fat slowly burning. Just live the bodybuilding lifestyle ~ Rubicon

Apples or oranges
Tomatoe or Potato
These things may look similar even spelled similar yet they are completely different things
Front squats are a compound movement working a whole lot of muscles
Leg extensions are an exercise for the quadricep, Great deal of debate whether they are detrimental to the knee joint.
Stick with compound movements

Front squats all the way. Why?
a) Because it's compound, as many have already mentioned.
b) It reinforces how to correctly and safely do back squats - the king of exercise.
c) Front squats (as all compound exercises) produce functional strength, which is more critical and practical than doing isolation to "look buff." This statement is especially true if you are an athlete, or wish to be more "athletic."
d) Doing front squats correctly is a prerequisite if you ever want to incorporate Olympic-style lifts in your training. If done correctly, clean and jerk and snatch are better for overall athleticism than doing squats or deadlifts alone. (Don't get me wrong, I am a squats and deadlifts fanatic.)
e) There had been scientific studies that suggest doing isolation exercises (such as leg extension) could actually weaken the muscle.
f) Unless you are a true bodybuilder in every sense of the word, isolation exercises are a waste of time for the rest of gym rats.This above all..
To thine ownself be true..
And it must follow, as the night the day..
Thou can'st not then be false to any man..
