FINALLY.... the question that has practically torn the universe apart, has been answered.
Why has no one ever told me that Nintendo possessed such wisdom?

    A pound weighs a pound (or a Kg weighs a Kg) muscle is more dense so occupies less space, but weight wise that quote is nonsense.
    a pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers (I know 'pound' is a measurement of force and not weight)

    Would you care to point out exactly where it was stated that one pound of muscle weighs more than one pound of fat? Because it doesn't. Muscle weighs more than fat, by volume. Weight comparisons are based on equal volume, not equal weights, as that would be stupid.

    The concept of density seems to be at a miss here...

    1 pound = 1 pound only applies to people who are not using wii fit. When using wii fit a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat. :laugh:

    What she said.

    I wonder what weighs more? Topics that won't die or n00b responses to them?


    ETA - Not directed at you, OP. Your find was kinda funny.

    Please explain the relevance/point of comparing an unspecified measurement of something compared to an equally unspecified measurement of something else. :huh: a 10cm cube of petrol is less heavy than a 10cm cube of water. but occupy the same volume, but neither has any relevance to the point. The advertisement say muscle weights more than fat, which is nonsense. If it said muscle is more dense than that would be accurate at least.

    As a nOOb I believe it is relative to how far i can carry each and how they are gripped.
    Since fat is greasy and I would lose control of my grip, dropping it, thus therefore making the fat lighter.
    However my grip on my muscle is much firmer! I can carry it much longer and with a smile on my face...you see?:flowerforyou:

    In context, Nintendo are correct, it needs rewording though.

    They say that a body builder will have a higher BMI, true, however, find me a body builder who even cares what his BMI is. Muscle is more dense than fat and therefore a body builder may weigh lots and have a higher BMI as a result, but will likely have a low body fat level and be far more healthy than a couch potato who weighs the same and has the same BMI.

    Perhaps Nintendo should release a Wii Fit which measures body fat the same as many scales on the market today. Would cost more though and probably not have the same wide market as the current Wii Fit.

    Find me a bodybuilder that can get a worthwhile workout on Wii Fit....

    For those of you who do not accept what I am trying to prove to you:

    This topic is a knowledge builder and useful filter.... that is all.

    If you want to confuse people with your nonsensical ideas like--> 1 pound of fat is equal to 1 pound of muscle, please do it elsewhere. The Nintendo facts are the Nintendo facts. We don't need your kind of so-called scientifically proven wisdom.

    You know, I always knew that the education system was going down the crapper but this is getting really annoying.

    Physics people

    1 lb is 1 lb is 1lb

    What you're referring to is VOLUME!

    Take a chicken breast and put it on the scale and measure to 1lb. Put it aside
    Take cotton candy and put it on the scale and measure to 1lb. Pt it next to the chicken breast. You will notice that even though they're both the same weight, cotton candy takes up alot more space compared to the chicken breast.
