Fat is lighter by volume than lean body tissue. For example, a 'cup' of fat is lighter than a 'cup' of muscle. This explains why increased physical exercise (which builds muscle) may actually cause weight gain rather than weight loss - at least to begin with

muscle weighs a lot more than fat. 4 times as much relative to cubic area. (2 lbs of muscle takes up as much room as 1/2 lb fat.) so if you are working out and haven't lost weight yet, don't worry, focus more on inches lost than weight lost.

10 pounds of muscle weigh the same as 10 pounds of fat. However the 10 pounds of muscle will be much more compact.

Heavy weights, lower reps. Muscle weighs more than fat, and you certainly don’t want to gain a ton of fat

Yes, muscle is denser than fat.

That's why a person who is physically fit can look slender and actually weigh more than someone who looks paunchy!

Cool huh?
