Gaining a pound of muscle typically takes more time and effort than gaining a pound of fat. Muscle growth requires consistent strength training, adequate protein intake, and a caloric surplus, which can take weeks to months to achieve. In contrast, fat can accumulate more rapidly due to excess caloric intake without the need for specific exercise. Therefore, while both processes involve caloric balance, muscle gain is generally slower than fat gain.
