, agreed and said even though your muscle mass weighs more than your fat,"it takes up less space, which is why you look leaner and more toned."Registered dietitian Jessica Levings, MS, RD, LD, from, added that"even though a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, their compositions are different. A pound of fat is lumpy and fluffy, taking up more space. A pound of muscle is compact and dense, taking up less space than the same amount of fat.
Krissi said to think about it this way:"Your fat layer is like a heavy quilt. When you are covered with a heavy quilt, you can't really see that shape that's underneath. If you remove the quilt and use a thin bed sheet instead, you will be able to see the shape of the body underneath. The less fat you have, the more you can see what's underneath."
"As you reduce the amount of stored body fat you have under your skin, you will become and look leaner," Krissi said, but the scale may go up. Jessica said,"This is great, though, considering higher muscle mass raises your metabolism and energy levels.
