Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound pile of muscle; but five pounds is still five pounds. The correct way to state the muscle weighs more than fat scenario is, "Muscle is heavier by volume than fat."
A woman weighing 150 pounds with 19% fat will look much smaller (and be much healthier) than a woman at 150 pounds with 35% fat. They weigh the same, yet the composition is different. Because muscle is more dense than fat the person with less fat and more muscle will look smaller.
Muscle weighs more, but takes up less space. Therefore, it is possible that you could go on a diet and lose 10 pounds of fat but also build 10 pounds of muscle and end up weighing the same, but you would look much thinner! Don't worry about the number on the scale; worry about what you look like.
Although muscle density is about the same as fat density, muscles (use a steak for example) will sink in water while fat (example: butter) will float. This means that a 1000 cc of fat will weigh about 800 to 900 g while the same volume of muscle will weigh over 1000 g
According to science, a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same. The difference between the two is density.
A pound of marshmallows is going to take up much more space than a pound of steel.
The same is true with fat and muscle. A pound of fat is bulky, fluffy, and about the size of a small grapefruit. A pound of muscle is hard, dense, and about the size of a tangerine.
Hope this helps.
Go and weigh someone fat then !
yes
Mitochondria is the part of cells that generate energy by turning nutrients and oxygen into fuel for the body. Muscle cells need this ability more because they are constantly working; fat cells do not need it as much.
Actually it's the biggest muscle in the body, and if a person works out, then there probably be that much fat on it. But most of the butt is muscle and tissue.
Muscle cells don't use fat cells when they are burned. An increase in muscle can raise the metabolism causing the muscle cells to burn off the fat cells in storage.
Heavier humans have more body fat therefore produce heat to keep themselves warm.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes more material for newly formed muscle cells than for newly formed fat cells. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is an organism that is found in certain cells.
no. it's the other way around. muscle is heavier than fat. muscle weighs approximately 17.7% more than fat.
muscle is heavier :>
yes
no they are the sane
No. Fat and muscle are different substances. If you lose weight, then muscles that were previously hidden by a layer of fat may be revealed, which can create the illusion of muscles coming from fat.
muscle is more dense, hence heavier.
This is a common myth. The easiest way to understand this is to look at it this way... 5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than the 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound pile of muscle; but five pounds is still five pounds. A woman weighing 150 pounds with 19% fat will look much smaller (and be much healthier) than a woman at 150 pounds with 35% fat. They weigh the same, yet the composition is different. Because muscle is more dense than fat the person with less fat and more muscle will look smaller.
muscle weighs heavier than fat so you are turning fat to muscle.
You could be gaining muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat and take up less space than fat. That's what is going on with me i recently started working out and i was a 100 pounds and gained 16.
first off its not spelt like that...and it makes you gain weight for one its made for muscle mass and muscle is heavier than fat... and 2 it has allot of protein in it wich is helps build muscle mass to and protein is very fating. you can turn fat into muscle allot faster than you can just gaining straight muscle
no fat is more jigglely than muscle
The brain is mostly muscle muscle weighs more than fat,
