Muscle Weighs More Than Fat
I will never understand why people say this and use this falsehood to make others feel better when they aren't loosing pounds as fast as they would like. While a pound of muscle looks much better than a pound of fat THEY STILL WEIGH THE SAME!

Muscle does weigh more than fat. Muscle is more dense. If you filled a 1 cup measuring cup with fat and a 1 cup measuring cup with muscle, the measuring cup with the muscle would weigh more than the one with fat.
ReplyDeleteSure... a pound is a pound. But a pound of fat takes up more space than a pound of muscle. And the pound of muscle is not unhealthy on your body.
No...it still weighs the same. It's the mass that is different. Mass & weight are not the same type of measurement.
