Wrong, muscle mass weighs exactly the same as fat mass. The volume is different. It's like one pound of feathers weighs the same as one pound of lead. The volume of space one pound of feathers occupies is much larger than the volume of space one pound of lead occupies. It's all about density being a function, f(V), of volume.
