muscle weighs more than fat?

Ok does a lb of feathers weigh more than a pound of fat?

Is it on a duck? Is the duck fat? So many things to consider. :laugh:

mmmmm, duck fat.

African or European Duck fat?

Everyone knows a pound of A = a pound of B. Internet Grammar Police make the common misstatement a hilarious dead horse to beat!

That was a bit harsh. I was just trying to be helpful. (Shuffles away with head hung low and a tears forming.)

You are helpful, don't shuffle away with your head hung low and your tears forming. Some people just don't understand your explanation and get defensive in their reply.

its all water weight and muscle...dont kill my vibe yo *eats oreos*

A pound is a unit of measurement, no matter what you are weighing (water, fat, muscle, or fudge), a pound is a pound. The mass of the items being weighed is different. When we build muscle, our "mass" or outward appearance appears smaller and more toned, even though we might have gained a little or stayed the same. The scale is a tool, but the true measure of success is feeling healthier, feeling your cloths fit better and an improvement in your overall mental and physical well being. Don't focus so much on the numbers, instead rely on how you feel. :happy:

You are too too funny Beth! :-) When I saw the post I thought...oh my what is my friend doing now???!!! Have a great day!!

are the feathers still on the chicken?

it all depends on whether I have to hold it while submerged in water...

I officially sink like a rock.

My muscle weighs more than my fat. (I think. I'm not actually sure how much my organs and bones etc weigh).
Science is SO hard.

A pound is also a unit of currency. So one pound of muscle is not the same as one pound Sterling.

Ponder this then...If you have 1201 calories in a day you might gain weight if you have that extra calorie for 3500 days in a row. However if you have 1199 calories you will STARVE AND DIE....The upside of this is that you will die with a thigh gap!

You're very intelligent for noticing that. Some people on here are just ridiculous. But what you wrote makes complete sense.

What that phrase actually means is muscle is DENSER than fat. So if you have a fixed volume, say a gallon, the gallon of muscle will weight more than the gallon of fat.

On a side note, having a gallon of either is gross!

I now have a mental image of someone desperately trying to squish meat into a milk jug. I wonder what the calories burned would be? And, if you ate those calories back, would you still lose weight?
