 Re: Not Losing? Maybe you are a "Wait and Whoosh" body type | |
Yes, muscle is more dense that fat. A mass of muscle occupies less volume than an equal mass of fat.
Say you have two containers, each one liter. Fill one container with human muscle and the other container with human fat. The container with muscle weighs more than the container of fat. This is why people say muscle weights more than fat.
The "1 pound of feathers is the same as a pound of lead" saying does not apply here.
