Does fat weigh more than muscle?

Answer 1

No! A pound is a pound. 5 pounds of fat and five pounds of muscle weigh the same -- 5 pounds! However, muscle is much more dense and compact than fat, so it takes up a lot less space and you look a heck of a lot better when your percentage of lean body mass is higher than your percentage of fat.

ANSWER!

Fat actually weighs less than muscle per Cubic inch because muscle is so much denser. That is one of the reasons why BMI numbers can't be trusted. And we arent talking about 5 pounds of fat vs 5 pounds of muscle, were talking about the weight of n amount of muscle vs n amount of fat. Muscle would be much heavier.

Answer 2

Yes, muscle weighs more than fat.

People who argue that one pound of fat weighs the same as one pound of muscle are correct but that proves absolutely nothing. One pound of anything weighs the same as one pound of anything else. The basis of the statement is that by volume muscle weighs more than fat, and that is absolutely true.
Muscle all the way
They both weigh the same.

They do not weigh the same. If you put a piece of fat next to a piece of muscle that are identical in size, the muscle weighs about 20% more. Muscle weighs more than fat.
Yes
One pound of fat and one pound of muscle weigh the same, however, for volume, one pound of muscle is smaller size wise than one pound of fat as it is more dense. This is why if your weight does not change but you decrease your body fat percentage and increase muscle mass, you could look thinner.

The question isn't "does 1 pound of muscle weigh more than 1 pound of fat", its "does muscle weigh more than fat" and the answer is yes. If you take a piece of fat and a piece of muscle that are identical in size and weigh them, the muscle weighs more.

If you were to take a cup of muscle and a cup of fat, the cup of fat would weigh less then the cup of muscle.
Muscle is denser than fat, meaning it weighs more for an equal volume.
