1lb is 1lb. It is more dense than fat.
>>
>>34851224

yes it weights about twice as much
>>
>>34851224
I heard 1lb of fat is close to 3 lb of water

Definitely so anon

1 lb of fat has about 4082 calories in it
1 lb of protein has only about 1814 calories

So if you devide 4082 by 1814 you get roughly 2.25

There we can see that a single pound of fat weighs about 2.25 times more than a pound of muscle.

>>34851239
this. but you prob baiting
0/10
>>
1g of fat = 9 cal
1g carb =4 cal

Calories are a uni of energy

E=mc2, thus m=E/c2

Therefore 1g of fat has more mass than 1g of carbs
>>
>>34851714
muscle is made of protein, everyone knows that

anon already proved the difference in weight here
>>34851678

>>34851678
energy =/ weight
>>
>>34851726
He has proven the difference in energy, not in weight.
The weight is the same.
>>
>>34851224

That color correction is oddly satisfying
>>
>>34851224
it depends

you have lean muscle and bulky muscle

lean muscle, like olympic weightlifters, weighs less than the bulky muscle all the fat powerlifters have
it's like comparing spider silk (strongest material in the world) with steel

secondly you have to specify what kind of fat you're comparing it with (saturated, unsaturated, poly/mono, trans, human, animal, etce tera)

Does 1lb of steel weigh more than 1lb of feathers?
>>
>>34851825

>>
>>34851982
Lol fuck you're slow
>>
>>34851224
No. It burns a negligible amount more energy but a lb is a lb is a lb whether of brick, feathers or water.
>>
>>34851982
The American education system everybody
>>
>>34851224

yes, just like one pound of bricks weight heavier than one pound of feathers.

Learn 2 science.
>>
I haven't ever held a pound of fat in my hand nor a pound of meat in my hand.

But I can say for sure that holding a pound of fat will feel lighter than holding a pound of meat
>>
I fucking hate these threads, they make me question stupid shit I already know the answer too.
