I think most NORMAL people comparing weights of different things use the same volumetric measurement to compare, otherwise by your logic everything in the universe weighs the same!

Tip #14 - yes muscle is heavier than fat.
Tip #15 - Tea and Coffee does count as water intake

Maybe I am not understanding #14. How is muscle heavier than fat. A lb of muscle weighs the same as a lb of fat?

Yes but 2lb of muscle weighs more than 1lb of fat.

And no I do not think you have understood # 14.

I suppose you may ask the question another way - is a 6 inch cube of muscle the same size as a 6 inch cube of fat?

#1 Don't argue with people who think that muscle weighs the same as fat.

You might as well try to convince a flat-earther of the near-spherical nature of our planet, or a moon landing denier that it was easier to land on the moon in 1969 than to produce a convincing fake.

Having made the rule, and I believe it is rule number 1, I will break it this last time.

What do you think someone means when they say one substance weighs more than another? They mean that it is denser. What else could someone older than 2 possibly mean by that? What do nuclear physicists mean by "heavy water"? They mean water that, by virtue of having extra neutrons in its atomic nuclei, weighs more than the same volume of ordinary water, i.e. it is denser. Or are these PhD physicists ignorant of the most basic nature of the world around them, something even a kindergartener can understand?

Explaining slowly and carefully to someone that a pound of one thing weighs the same as a pound of something else is condescending in the extreme, and just results in two people thinking the other is stupid. Assuming that the people you communicate with have the intelligence of a mollusc is not the best way to make friends and influence people.

Why should I say "denser" to appease people who have a rigid and incomplete definition of certain English terms?

And I'm pretty certain you'd find a good correlation between the belief that muscle and fat weigh the same and failure to achieve fitness goals. Why else stick doggedly to such an absurd position, if not to rationalise another doughnut?

I think that might have qualified as a rant, but I feel better for it, especially since it wasn't aimed at any one luddite in particular.

And of course 2 lbs of muscle weigh more than 1 lb of fat. That's simple math. But to make a blanket statement that is incorrect that muscle weighs more than fat, no. You compare them 1:1

A lb of muscle weighs the same as a lb of fat as does a lb of feathers, lb of avocados, lb of apples, etc. While there may be a lot more of some than others, they all still weigh the exact same. If you are comparing weights, then you compare 1:1. You want to compare volume that's a different story all together.

In because Friday. :happy:

Also, I have to add, I LOVE cauliflower. But I eat it AS cauliflower. If I want rice, pizza, or 'buffalo wings', I will eat rice, pizza, or 'buffalo wings', thank you very much! :drinker:

Cauliflower is delicious, just should not masquerade as things which it is not.

Roast a chopped head of cauliflower with olive oil, kosher or sea salt, pepper, and cumin seed. Top with lightly salted plain Greek yogurt, fresh mint leaves, and pomegranate seeds. EAT FOREVER.
