Why do people always say on here that muscle is heavier than fat?
1lb of fat weighs 1lb.
1lb of muscle weighs.. guess what ... 1lb!!
1lb of anything always weighs the same!!!111!1
Hope this helps lol
why does one gallon of muscle weigh more then one gallon of fat?
why does one quart of muscle weigh more then one quart of fat?
why does one liter of muscle weigh more then one liter of fat?
why does one cubic inch of muscle weigh more then one cubic inch of fat?
compare weights for equal VOLUME and muscle weighs more then fat.
this makes more sense then your skewed logic anyway.. when I say Milk is heavier then gasoline, do you not first compare them for the same volume?
when I say steel is heavier then wood , do you not compare them with identical size blocks? You wouldnt argue with me because the small steel bar in your hand weighs less then a 12' long 4x4.. you could easily see the volume diff.
Learn the difference between THEN AND THAN!

but my pound does not weigh a pound as I'm from the UK. I would like a lb of £'s..
Your pound weighs a stone.
I wish I had a stone of £ but that is 14lbs
I know. :-) I was just trying to be funny.0 -
But what if it's 2 pounds??
LOL :drinker:0 -
In my 620 some days here, I only "met" ONE person who actually believed that one pound of something could weight more than one pound of something else.
The rest of the population is just saving time by omitting the phrase "by volume" from the phrase. Please stop treating everyone as if they're as stupid as that one person. Please? Pretty please???
On the other hand, I would like to abolish the notion that a fluctuation on the scale after a week of exercise is "turning fat into muscle."0 -
This might be more accurate
Yes but grapefruit helps you burn fat so keep eating that grapefruit. Tangerines have too many seeds. But you burn calories spitting them out so it probably doesn't matter which you eat as they both stave of scurvy. Limes also fight off scurvy. Maybe that's why Limey is a disparaging term for the english since they live on an island. Speaking of Islands, if all the people in the Dharma initiative were killed off by Ben Linus why was food being perodically dropped onto the island on lost. Speaking of lost, I seem to have lost my train of thought...0 -

THANKS FOR THE LOGIC 9 million before you have made the same post.0 -
I suppose it would clear things up if we all said "Muscle is denser than fat". But then we'd have the people who say "What's 'dense' mean?"
...sounds like you may be one of them. :huh:
Haha that's pretty dense...;)0 -

Lol! Took the words out of my mouth!0 -
of course a pound is equal to a pound! But a 1 square cube of fat and a 1 square cube of muscle do not weigh the same.
when people say lead is heavier than feathers, they do not mean "1 pound" of lead is more than "1 pound of feathers".. how silly to think that! they mean 'per equivalent size'. same as when people say fat weighs less than muscle,
Unless they are telling the joke: "Which weighs more? A pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?"0 -
This pretty much nails this one one the head.0 -

/start rant
Well then, nothing weighs more than anything else. Since a pound is a pound is a pound, everything weighs exactly the same. Steel weighs the same as feathers.
Which is generally considered nonsense. Yes, a pound is a pound. But if you take a cubic inch of muscle and a cubic inch of fat and compare them, guess what. THE MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE *gasp*
Yes, it would be more precise to say that muscle is denser than fat. Yes, it would be clearer to say that, if you have the same measurements but it's muscle rather than fat, you will weigh more. Yes, it would be more accurate to say that if you weigh the same but your clothes fit better, you may have more muscle and less fat and so take up less space while weighing the same. Because, volume for volume, muscle weighs more.
Really, everybody is arguing about VERBIAGE. Word choice. Sophistry.

This again? Instead of comparing weight measurements based on weight try volume......which weighs more? One cubic foot of fat or one cubic foot of muscle?0 -
I guess muscle is heavier per cubic inch but that is misleading since each pound of muscle gives a person the appearance of being much heavier than one pound of fat does. That's why shredded people are usually very much lighter than they look. I'm at a fairly muscular 9.5% body fat and most people guess my weight as 160 lbs but it's actually 135.0

Oh my god! Thank you for clearing that up. Since a pound of me is equal to a pound of feathers, that means I only weigh as much as feathers so I don't need to be on this website after all. Whew! I feel better now.0
