    He was probably talking about density. A cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch of fat. 1 lb of muscle in your body occupies less space than 1 lb of fat.

    Well, if he didn't say a pound of muscle vs. a pound of fat, then he was right. The same volume of muscle does weigh more than fat.

    :explode: :laugh: The one that gets me is when someone literally says: "Well you know that ONE POUND of muscle weighs more than ONE POUND of fat..."

    Thats like saying chocolate has more calories then broccoli..... but 100 calories are 100 calories!

    so yes. muscle weighs more then fat by volume. That is what people mean when they say this sheesh :p

    if they dont say 1lb of muscle is heavier tha 1lb of fat, then where is the confusion??
    much more dense. they are almost always talking volume. to think otherwise is silly. :)
