working out

There have been a few posts recently about losing weight and I've seen a lot of inaccurate comments made. I just thought I would give some factual recommendations

1 lb muscle=1 lb fat.

no shit.

they both weigh a pound.

1 lb of feathers and 1 lb of bricks weigh the same, too: 1 lb.

That doesnt mean feathers and bricks weigh the same.

Now, if two people are roughly the same size (lets say theyre the same height and same dress size) and one is comprised mostly of fat and the other is comprised mostly of muscle, the person with more muscles will weigh more.

Muscle weighs more than fat.

um, if i were you, i'd google "muscle weighs more than fat" and maybe apply "myth" to the phrase. i don't have time to explain it to you right now but no, muscle does NOT weight more than fat.

if i were you, i would google "muscle weighs more than fat" and maybe add "fact" to the phrase.

EXACTLY. One pound of anything is equal to one pound of anything (in terms of weight) since they both weigh one pound.
x amount of muscle weighs more than the same amount of fat. That's what the phrase "muscle weighs more than fat" means.
