Is muscle heavier or fat heavier?

In the gym, we often see many muscular men. They are not fat, but when they are weighed, they will find that they are heavier than the average fat people. I can say that I am surprised why they are very heavy but don’t look fat. In fact, fat people are mostly composed of fat, and the weight of fat is about one-third of the same volume of muscle, so fat people look fatter. So, which is heavier, muscle or fat?

1. Which is heavier, muscle or fat?

Heavy muscles. Gaining muscle is difficult and slow, but a little bit of muscle can be quite noticeable. For example, if you have never exercised before, you can start exercising and replenishing your nutrition in the most scientific way from now on. After one year, you can gain about 10 pounds of muscle. Less than 5 kilograms. He'll look pretty strong, like a professional athlete. In another three years, I might be able to gain 30 pounds, 13 kilograms of pure muscle. It looks and feels incredibly strong. He's the kind of muscular man who can be in magazines, with arms that are thicker than the legs of an average skinny girl.

2. After fitness, fat will gradually decrease. The less fat, the more obvious the muscle texture and tendons will be, and the stronger the muscle feel will be. If two people have the same amount of muscle, the one with less fat will appear to have a lot more muscle.

The density of human muscle is 1.1, and the density of human fat is very small, weighing only 1/3 of muscle.

The density of pure water is 1.0

That is to say, for muscles and fat of the same size, the weight of muscle is three times that of fat.

The best way to lose weight is to do more physical exercise and coordinate it with diet control. This can regulate metabolism, promote fat consumption and rational distribution, make the body fit, and have better results.

1. You can increase physical exercise, such as running, sit-ups, etc., to accelerate fat consumption.
