Muscle Vs Fat: The Truth About Weight & Density Revealed! 💪
Ever stepped on the scale, seen the number stay stubbornly the same, despite your best efforts at the gym? The truth is, that number is only telling you a fraction of the story; the real transformation lies in the intricate dance between muscle and fat within your body.
It's a common question that plagues fitness enthusiasts: What truly distinguishes five pounds of muscle from five pounds of fat? At first glance, the answer seems simple – weight is weight, right? Wrong. While the scale might register them identically, the visual and metabolic impact on your body couldn't be more different. This enduring myth that "muscle weighs more than fat" needs debunking. A pound is a pound, regardless of its composition. The crucial distinction lies in density and volume.
