The density of fat (adipose tissue) is .9 grams/ml (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue) A pound contains 453.59237 grams Dividing the weight in grams by .9 gives us 503.991522 ml 1 US cup is 236.588237 ml Dividing the volume in ml by the 236.588237 gives us 2.1302476 cups Note that when losing weight it is not purely fat, there is a mix of fat tissue, fluid shifting (dehydration and other effects), and lean muscle loss. This ratio will shift as the caloric restricted diet and exercise program continues. Often large initial losses will be due to fluid shifting, and over time the percentage of long term loss will be 80% fat, 20 % lean muscle for the average program.

How much heavier is muscle 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. 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.

Does eating one pound of food cause a 1 pound weight gain?

Not necessarily. Weight gain occurs when there is an excess of calories consumed compared to calories burned. Eating one pound of food does not equate to a 1 pound weight gain as weight gain is influenced by various factors including metabolism, activity level, and overall calorie intake.
