    A. Muscle does not weigh more than fat.. muscle is just more dense than fat.

    You cannot say that muscle is both denser than fat and weighs the same, because an increased density results in an increased weight.

    Weight = (Density x Volume) x Gravity. Gravity is constant because we are all on Earth, so if we hold volume constant, and we all agree that muscle is denser than fat, then the outcome is an increased weight.

    I meant dense as in compact.... I'll make sure to change that for next time..

    I do know my clothes are tighter, not fitting better. Maybe because my muscles are getting bigger?

    I've tried hard at eating more...and just gain more weight. The theory of eating back calories doesn't work for me. I got to goal weight and find it very hard to stay there.
