A pound of muscles equals a pound of fat. However, muscle is denser than fat; therefore a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat.
Have a blessed day!

Ah-ha! Excellent point my friend, but a challenger appears! Take a piece each of fat and muscle, portioning equal volume betwixt the two. A square inch of muscle would indeed exert more gravitational force than a square inch of fat!
I have no idea why I typed like that, but I was really into it.0 -
By this logic there is no difference between a feather and a pile of poop.0

You, basically, said the exact same thing as the OP.0 -

Density = Mass / volume
So yes.0 -
Either way, the solution is obvious:
Eat 1200 daily calories.
The only question remaining is, what is the effect of eating back all, some, or none of my exercise calories?0 -
What's important is that muscle burns calories efficiently and fat doesn't do anything but sit there and look ugly. So weigh more...just have it be because you have muscles!!0

Oh, there's a difference. Has someone ever tried to tickle you with the latter?
Like I said, definitely a difference.
EDIT: to fixes a verb0 -

What about about a lb of copy paper vs a 1 lb dumbbell?0

I think you know what people mean when they say it.
I don't see what's wrong about saying "muscle weighs more than fat" ... if you take a blob of fat and then take a blob of muscle of the same size, the muscle will weigh more. I wish people would stop nit picking everything that is said on here.0 -

I would be starving if I only ate 1200 calories! Seriously...
I don't try to eat them back, but I have exercised to bring my net calories down for the day, usually to allow myself a dessert after dinner.0 -

1lb of feathers = 1lb of poop. If you want to compare weight.
To make it simpler for everyone:
1lb of anything weighs the exact same as 1lb of anything else.
Any further questions?0 -
Silly Taso, everyone knows that copy paper is lighter than a dumbbell even if they weigh the same!0

But...but...if I don't reach my goal weight in two months or less, I'll just stop trying completely and go back to eating Snickers and Diet Cokes all day long.0 -
