does muscle hold more water than fat
FAT FACT: Fat tissue is about 10 to 20 percent water, while lean tissue (which includes muscle and bone) averages 70 to 75 percentâthat's why muscle weighs more than fat. Myth 3: All fat is created equal. Every year after age 25, we gain, on average, one pound of body weight and lose a third to a half pound of muscle.
