    A pound is the same any way you cut it.

    A pund of muscle is the same as a pound of fat. They are both 1 pound. Much like a pound of feathers and a pound of bricks. They are both 1 pound. Although the muscle, like the bricks being compared to feathers, is more dense then fat.

    what weighs more? a pound of feathers or a pound of gold? the pound of feathers. gold is measured in troy ounces which weigh less than a normal ounce and thence a pound in troy weight is not quite a pound in actual weight :P

    i think the question here though was which weighs more per volume

    You are the one that asked which weighs more a lb of fat or a lb of muscle. I just made the point that a lb is lb no matter what it is. You never said by volume what weights more. Muscle is more dense.

    Forget it, it was just a problem of miscommunication. No need to get upset because of it.

    Oh, the top of the thread says What is heavier? Muscle or fat? and then your first posts says "what weighs more". All i did was answer your first post. To tell you the truth I didn't even notice the part that says what is heavier. Sorry I am nothing but a stupid fucking moron who can't read properly. If you'd like I can come over and you can kick me in the nuts to or maybe you can take a blade and cut my head up for making a mistake.

    Wait, but p-funk said, "A pound is the same any way you cut it.
    A pund of muscle is the same as a pound of fat. They are both 1 pound. Much like a pound of feathers and a pound of bricks. They are both 1 pound. Although the muscle, like the bricks being compared to feathers, is more dense then fat."

    I am a little confused.

    Related to this topic, how does one measure lean body mass? And what is an optimal one for someone who's 115 lb? Or does it go by bf, waist size, wrist size, etc?
