Muscle weighs more than fat: true or false?
The truth is that when placed on a scale, one pound of fat is going to weigh the same as one pound of muscle. Where the confusion comes in is that muscle and fat differ in density (muscle is about 18% more dense than fat) and one pound of muscle occupies less space (volume) than one pound of fat.

ReplyDeleteHow about the weight of a brain?
ReplyDeleteMuscle is more SENSE than fat. 100 pounds of feathers weighs the same as 100 pounds of muscle.
ReplyDeleteBrains are more fat that muscle, and feathers, not muscle, is what allows the warm-blooded Albatrosses to roam the furious fifties and shrieking sixties as they do.
