Answer #1

Yeah, muscle does weight more than fat but if you have a huge ass than you know that you probably have a ton of blob and fat wrapped around a small amount of muscle. But what’s your question? It does not make sense!!

Answer #2

Muscle weighing more than fat doesnt mean that weight is a useless measurement. You could also say that measuring is an inaccurate measure of healthy size because large muscles will make you bigger. Common sense is required here. It is very easy to tell if excess weight is due to fat or muscle.

Answer #3

It means if i weigh more than my boyfriend but im still slim does that make me fat or musely.. im mainly musel at top n bigger on bottem as im a pear shape, but i weigh more ever since i started exersizing so it doesnt make sence to me.

Answer #4

yes, muscle does weigh more than fat. its important to keep this is mind when calculating your BMI. for example, i weigh 160 but i also play rugby and have a lot of muscle. on the BMI chart it says that i am overweight since my BMI is around 28-29 but i am average. it doesnt look at muscle so the number on the scale doesnt necessarily tell you have fit you are but it is still important to be in a healthy range.
