My issue of this months Health and Fitness actually says muscle weighs more than fat!
Doh!0 -
More then likely it is water. A pound of fat = ~3500 calories. I seriously doubt somebody has oven eaten that many calories in a week.
Oh trust me, I could do that easily! :bigsmile:0 -
No, because there are alsways newby's to the site that haven't already learnt this stuff!0

Muscle does not weigh more than fat, any more than lead weighs more than feathers. A pound is a pound is a pound.
Does that mean that muscle might weigh more than fat in Europe because they don't weigh in pounds??
In outer space, they both weigh the same....0 -

This whole thread just made me lol, and I just want to point out that I'm from Europe and I weigh in pounds!! Uk don't want to go metric, just another bit of Europe we refuse to conform with x x0

I hate when people gain a couple of pounds, vent online about it, and people say "you've been working out - its probably muscle." It takes TIME to put on muscle mass. Sorry you didn't gain a pound of muscle in a week. Especially women!
Either you are retaining water, or you ate more than you thought you did.

ROFL! That picture cracked me up. But seriously if somebody says they gained 3 pounds that's 10500 extra calories above their TEE... In a week. Makes me want to puke just thinking about eating that much food.0 -

This from someone who loves horses. Seriously. Make it stop. No one is confused.OK, I am sure this has been posted before ....
Yes, it has.
Consider this dead horse beat so many times that it has reanimated and then been beat to death again. Please just let the horse be dead. Please.0 -

Stones would sink but small rocks would float, right?
I'm an American, would you approve me using stones on the next person to start a pound of fat v pound of muscle thread? Id totally use stones then.0 -
That is a common misconception. Thank you for clearing that up.0

Let me hit you on the head with a pound of feathers as hard as I can....
Now, let me hit you with a pound of lead as hard as I can...
See the difference??? Each time someone makes the "muscle weighs more than fat" reference without taking into account the "by volume" aspect, I want to do the second one ... on their head!0 -
