Pound for pound muscle and fat weigh the same, the difference between the two is that muscle is 18% denser than fat. Meaning that five pounds of muscle takes up less space than five pounds of fat. By looking at the picture at the left you can see that the five pounds of muscle is smaller and takes up less room in your body. The fat takes up more room in your body and tends to be bumpy making it more noticeable. Wouldn’t you much rather have five pounds of smooth, lean, dense muscle tissue inside your body than five pounds of fat? There are also many health advantages to increased muscle mass:
- Create a leaner physique
- Increase energy and vitality
- Improve athletic performance
- Increase your metabolic efficiency
