Pound for Pound muscle and fat are equal

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Good morning everyone,

I was getting ready for work today and was thinking about what I wanted to write about this morning and I thought I would talk about one of the biggest misconceptions there is and that is that muscle weighs more than fat. That is totally not true. Look at it this way. What weighs more, 1 pound of muscle or 1 pound of fat? They weigh the same amount since they are both one pound. A better way of looking at this is to compare a pound of rocks to a pound of feathers. You will have a lot more feathers than rocks to make up that pound, but in the end, a pound is still a pound. What it all boils down to is that muscle is much more dense than fat. Hopefully that makes sense
