Muscle VS Fat

double post

Muscle weighs more than fat is a perfectly acceptable thing to say and is accurate. It's the same as saying, "rocks weigh more than feathers." Nobody is saying that a 1 pound of something weighs more than 1 pound of something. Don't be dense (pun intended).

You are correct up until your "Nobody is saying...." statement. The debate over the weight difference between 10 pounds of muscle and 10 pounds of fat (as well as 10 pound barbells and 10 pound reams of paper) has erupted on MFP multiple times. So clarity is needed.

Well, those people are silly, then.

I agree. But the Campaign to Eradicate Silliness from the Internets was way underfunded and failed miserably.

Hence, getting prickly because someone didn't explicitly point out the implied "by volume" when making the statement might indicate that someone is just trying to start something.

What are you trying to start?

I agree with your sentiment. I think the behavior can sometimes resemble the arguing tactic "in your opinion."

I am a humble and innocent observer :flowerforyou: I can't image to what you could possibly be referring.

I heart you! :flowerforyou:

is this why after a few days of heavy working out but not ness. eating more i weigh more?

It is highly unlikely you put on muscle that quickly. You create tears in your muscles when you work out. Your body holds onto water to heal them; this is how you get stronger. It's just water. You didn't gain that much fat or muscle over night.

Exactly. Putting on muscle takes hard work and a good diet. You don't just accidentally do it xD
In most cases it takes a calorie surplus too

It's the same as "What's heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of lead." It takes much less lead to get to a pound than feathers.

It's a play on words. Hasn't anyone ever pulled one over on you with the whole "what weighs more, a lb of feathers or a lb of bricks?"

The nutrients and minerals in our body as well as the calories come from the food we eat. If you are on a diet, you should be conscious on the right foods to eat to lose weight so that you make sure that you are taking the right nutrients and energy for the body and avoiding those that will ruin your diet plan. Dieting programs such as The Diet Solution Program require you to take only foods to eat to lose weight along with other exercise and other essential activities that can help you trim your figure.
