Fat is BIGGER than Muscle

Published January 12, 2011

When it comes time to incorporate exercise back into your lifestyle you will have changes to adjust to.

This example has always stuck with me and I want to share it with you –

If you used one of those “balance scales”, you know the ones with an area to load items on both sides”

Ok, Let’s say on one side you filled the entire side with a can of whipcream. It would spill over the scale plate before you know it.

Now on the other side add a small piece of filet mignon.

Of course on the filet side there would be extra area to add more to the scale plate (no spill over) But GUESS WHAT???

The whip cream (which represents FAT)

Would still weigh less than the filet mignon (Your lean muscle)

Yet the filet would obviously weigh more than the whip cream.

I hope this gives many of you peace of mind.

Because as we know the more MUSCLE our body’s have to maintain, the more calories it needs to sustain itself.

That is a good thing 😉
