What Weighs more Muscle OR Fat?
Question:
Answers:
Fat tissue is approximately 20% less dense than muscle, so it takes up 20% more space. Muscle burns 19 times more calories than fat.
So a pound of muscle takes less space and burns more calories then a pound of fat. Build muscle, lose fat!

My guess is muscle. But I've never studied that, so i wouldn't know for sure.. It just seems right.
Muscle.
definitly muscle.
Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound pile of muscle; but five pounds is still five pounds, so for those of you that don't "get" English, you cannot say one thing weighing a certain weight weighs more than another thing at that same weight. It's a common joke to play on an 8-year old. The correct way to state the muscle weighs more than fat scenario is, "Muscle is heavier by volume than fat."
A woman weighing 150 pounds with 19% fat will look much smaller (and be much healthier) than a woman at 150 pounds with 35% fat. They weigh the same, yet the composition is different. Because muscle is more dense than fat the person with less fat and more muscle will look smaller.
Muscle tissue is approximately 3 times denser than adipose (fatty) tissue.

a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. However, muscle is more dense so it takes up less space. think of what a pound of potatos looks like compared to a pound of lettuce
Muscle is denser that fat-it takes up less room.
