Muscle VS Fat

Just to make clear the whole "fat weights more than muscle" misunderstanding going on, which i've constantly tried to explain to people.

It's about volume.

Also, more muscle = higher metabolism.

    Does anyone actually think muscle weighs more than fat? Or do people just not feel the need to add "given equal volume" to the end of the sentence?

    If EVERYONE could just not be a grammar/spelling/etc nazi this wouldn't be such an issue! Everyone knows 5lb of two different things still weighs 5lb. People express the sentiment differently and everyone gets their panties in a wad over it.

    Protip: Unwad those panties and move on!

    I know full well that it's to do with the density of muscle being higher than that of fat but I've always considered it to be more of a turn of phrase and that people knew that its not possible for 1lb of muscle to magically weigh more than 1lb of fat...

    Clearly the post is meant for the people that have kept asking me about fat loss etc... and want to be educated on the subject, so i have a refference to link them to.



    And it's in the motivation and support, cause i actually aim to motivate and support people, not heckler them.

    There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers, no one knew before they asked.

    If you do believe it's a subject you have discussed way too many times, then do NOT reply to the post.

    Manners... get them.
