What they mean is that a pound of fat takes up more volume than a pound of muscle. If I lose 5 pounds of fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle, the scale doesn’t know the difference, but my eyes do, and so do my jeans!
This is absolutely true. I used to do WW and had a leader that held up visual aides when talking about a pound of muscle vs a pound of fat. She said a pound is a pound. It’s the density or space taken up. She held up a Coke can and said this represents a pound of muscle. Then she held up a 2-Liter and said this represented a pound of fat. On a scale they would weigh the same. The visual really stuck with me. What you are sharing in this short is really on point. Thanks, PahlaB.
At first I thought you meant a full can and a full bottle, and I’m thinking how could it be possible that they weigh the same🤔. Then I realized an empty can and bottle might weigh the same, which makes way more sense! Sometimes it takes me a minute 🤪 Good analogy!
Good advice. BTW your hair looks great.
Thank you!
Thanks for emphasizing short term fluctuations don’t tell much. Long term patterns tell more. Very helpful!
I hate when people say muscle weighs more than fat. Lol. Thank you for all the inspiration. 👍

@A Broussard Sorry that I wasn’t more clear. The can and 2-liter were a visual of the size or space taken up by muscle vs fat. Thanks
Thank you!😊🌻💛
Fat has alot more mass than muscle does. That’s what people actually mean when they say that
Yesss 😮I agree this happens to me even when I am sooo good
