    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.

    People on the interwebs love to be pedantic.

    Sounds good and I agree. But my endocronologist told me i was obese due to height/weight ratio. at 5'3 and 172 i am classified as obese. When I told her that i was in a size 9/10 and did insanity 6 days a week and muscle weighs more that fat she laughed and told me to lose 30 pounds.

    I lost the doctor!!!

    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.
    IU think you just proved her point.

    You realized that people mean "by volume" when they say that right?

    See? I weigh the same as I did when I was fat but now my volume is smaller.
    Why does it look like the sides of your mouth are getting heavier as you're looking better? Smile!

    By this logic there is no difference between a feather and a pile of poop.

    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?


    This is not true. 1lb of Gold (and most precious metal) weighs LESS than 1lb of other substances. Now the question is why :smile:

    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!

    I don't think anyone ever said a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat.

    A pound of this weighs the same as a pound of that. Interesting theory you have there.

    So the thread title wasn't a clue? If my day were as easily ruined by MFP forum threads as yours apparently is, I would be more careful which ones I clicked.

    Had to look that one up...yeah, I guess you'd lose weight, but yuck and unsatisfying. You definitely made a good choice!
