Muscle and fat.
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.

Well, I think that your at your target weight. The weight over is probsly muscle, so dont worry, Im sur that al the excerising you do isnt nothing, you have muscle weight. So it seems like you are over the wright but your actually under.

If you are over 5'0 then you are supposed to add on five pounds.(ex. 5'9=145) this measurement isnt very exact, so if you reallly want to know the best people to tell you are doctors or even sometimes gym teachers since they have charts. if you dnt have any fat on you then i wouldnt worry about it. The scale gives you numbers. What really matters is how you look and feel in clothes.

i think what people mean by muscle weighing more than fet is that e.g.a spoon of muscle weights more than a spoon of fat. and i think you can get these little watch things that tells you your bodies water, fat, and muscle percentage.

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?
