Okay, so everyone's heard the saying muscle weighs more than fat. Well, I'm about 11 pounds over my target weight, but I get in at least 2 hours of exercise each day. I have very little fat on me. How do I know if I'm at my target weight. Is there a set formula, like 1 pound of fat = 5 pounds of muscles? This is Igotamonopoly, if I'm for whatever reason unclear.
Amy- It's not really true that muscle weighs more than fat. 5 lbs of muscle is the same as 5 lbs of fat; it's just that 5 lbs of muscle is nicer to look at. Go by what you see in the mirror; not on the scale.
It's almost like asking what weighs more- a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
(Rating: 5) Haha. Okay, thanks Mike. :]
