I wonder if the muscle is accurate? Thoughts?

Wouldn't let me edit it...but it's supposed to show 5 lb of fat vs 5 lb of muscle. But I think it's looks like 1 lb of muscle.0

That looks like a 3 or 5-pound fat replica. I have a 1-pound fat replica that is much smaller (about as long as a pen at its longest point).
A pound of fat definitely takes up more space/volume than a pound of muscle, but the difference it not as dramatic as your photo.0 -
why do you have a fat replica?? LOL0

It sits on my kitchen counter as a little reminder...
Popeye73 posted this pic of 1 pound of fat on another thread:

Ha! I don't
I saw it posted somehwere else...but the information that went with it said they were both 5 lbs. I thought I'd see if anyone here could say. The fat would seem to be right for 5 lbs but the muscle didn't seem equal.
I found this one...seems more right to me.0
