I'm in the 250s! Today's workout: 20 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph and 5% incline, 5 minutes of the Bicep weight machine at 20 lbs.

MUSCLE DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN FAT. 1lb of muscle and 1lb of fat are the SAME. Muscle just takes up less space. End rant.

Comment^^^^^

Wowww I do feel stupid now. It’s like when people try to trick you by asking “which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?” However, if you gain weight, it still could be because of muscle. You could have burned off x lbs of fat, but gained x lbs of muscle. So the scale may have gone up, but your waist probably got smaller. Did I explain that right? It sounds a lot better in my head than it does typed out.

The annoyance in this argument: You would never say that feathers are heavier than rocks. Duh anything will weigh the same if you measure them to be the same weight! What the concept of “heavier vs. lighter” refers to is one of two things, depending on context:

The difference of weight for the same physical space occupied. (exp. 1 square foot of cheddar cheese vs. 1 square foot of ground beef)

The difference of weight for the typical size of the object. (exp. a marble vs. a bowling ball)

In the case of muscle vs. fat, choice #1 is the best for comparison. And in that instance, muscle weighs more. Again, saying they weigh the same when they’re at the same weight is the most useless, obnoxious comment. (Not targeting that at the person who said it on here. Just a general grievance.) Again, anything weighs the same when you measure it to be the same weight. It’s heavier because you just flippin’ know that you’re talking about heavier per volume. Otherwise the concept of “heavier vs. lighter” could never exist, and we’d be going around saying that babies are conceptually the same weight as trucks.

I really want some cold sugary cereal. Ohhhh man.

My legs are rock hard from the stationary bike and weight machines at the gym.
