Happy Thursday, !

❓Does 1 pound of fat really weigh more than 1 pound of muscle?

In a word: No! 

⚖️A 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:

👉🏼1 pound of FAT is bulky, fluffy, and about the size of small grapefruit.

👉🏼1 pound of MUSCLE is dense, compact, and about the size of a small tangerine.

Enjoy the rest of your evening,
