Happy Thursday, !
โDoes 1 pound of fat really weigh more than 1 pound of muscle?
In a word: No!
โ๏ธA pound weighs a pound, no matter whether it is feathers or metal.
But there are 2 key differences between fat and muscle that can make you think there is a difference in weight.
They differ in density and volume, which affect the amount of SPACE they take up.
For reference:
๐๐ผ1 pound of FAT is bulky, fluffy, and about the size of small grapefruit.
๐๐ผ1 pound of MUSCLE is dense, compact, and about the size of a small tangerine.
Enjoy the rest of your evening,
