What type of muscle contributes more weight in your body?
Skeletal muscle contributes more weight in a person's body than any other muscle type. It accounts for 40% of a person's total weight.
What do you think a density of a person might be explain?

Which type of tissue metabolizes food faster and makes it easier to lose weight?
Muscle Tissue. Fatty Tissue in the body metabolizes (burns) food more slowly then muscle. For this reason, a person with a high fat-to-muscle ratio metabolizes food more slowly than a person of the same weight with more muscle. That is, two people of the same weight may metabolize food at different rates, depending on their distribution of muscle and fat. In other words when you start working out and building muscle, your fat turns into muscle making your muscle tissue burn your food faster. Thus the reason for weight loss.

If you are lifting heavily in order to gain muscle mass, you will gain weight. However, if you are lifting to get lean muscle, it should help to lose weight.
Does muscle weight more than fat?
A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle. There is no difference. However, they do differ in density. Muscle tissue tends to be more dense than fat tissue because it has more water. This means that a muscular person would generally displace less water (have less volume) than a fat person of the same weight, and that a muscular person would weigh more than a fat person who displaces the same amount of water (equal volume).
What percentage of the body weight is smooth muscle?
The percentage of body weight which is smooth muscle cannot be determined without a diagnostic body scan. Our skeletal muscle is generally thought to be 40% of a man's weight and 23% of a woman's. We could to deduce a value by considering the cardiac muscle weighs about 2-3 pounds. This value is roughly 1.5% of a person's body weight. therefore, the percentage of the weight smooth muscle must be 58.55 for male and 75.5 percent for a feamle. --------------- Justin Anderson
