I'm confused by this statement. Are you saying this because the muscle looks denser than the fat, or are you mistaking the larger, yellow fat for the smaller red muscle?

And muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. That is an old saying that I wish we could put to rest. Five pounds of muscle and five pounds of fat are both "five pounds". The only difference, as the photo shows us, is that muscle, being denser, takes up way less space that the same amount of fat in weight.

Muscle is more dense than fat...as you stated in the final couple sentences of your post.

Right. Five pounds of muscle weigh exactly the same as five pounds of fat. Just as five pounds of stone will be exactly the same weight as five pounds of feathers. So which will fall faster, five pounds of stone or five pounds of feathers?


All the best,
