I've just seen the 1kg of muscle weighs the same as 1kg fat argument again.

Instead of getting angry, let's have fun.


My puppy <-- weighs the same as Mt. Kilimanjaro, because 1kg of puppy weighs the same as 1kg of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

    You are not the wisest of posters here.

    1kg of fat = 1kg of muscle

    in other words, a balancing scale will balance and not tip one way or the other.

    ps - it is "weighs"

    The difference is density, that is all.

    Thank you.

    I thought it was basic common sense.

    a pound is a pound - BY WEIGHT.

    a pound is NOT a pound - BY VOLUME

    instead of comparing muscle and fat, replace with feathers and bricks. A pound of feathers weighs exactly the same as a pound of bricks. BUT, if you measure the same by volume, the feathers will take up WAY more space than the bricks.

    Someone wise said this is another thread.

    Lol, the OP is being sarcastic. He knows that a kg equals a kg.

    I'll play: 1 kg of poop equals 1 kg of roses. Only difference is aroma.:laugh:

    A 1000 lb unicorn weighs the same as 1000 lbs of "magic weight loss pills" but neither one really exists...

    I actually saw a good analogy of this at the gym. 5 lbs of fat equals 3 large grapefruits whereas 5 lbs of muscle is like 3 small oranges. Of course they weigh the same but are more dense and compact.

    Weight and mass are different things. And judging by posts I've read across the forums, there seem to be a lot of massive idiots. Love you!
