Does muscle turn to fat when there is loss of activity?

Muscle cannot turn into fat, because one tissue cannot evolve into another. What does happen is that a loss in activity results in the shrinking of muscle mass because of disuse. Also, fat levels may increase because a loss of activity may result in a surplus of calories, which can result in an increase in fat. So, after not working the body for a while, muscles may shrink and fat may increase and can result in looking less firm (loss of muscle) and more flabby (increase in fat).
