Muscle vs. fat: Hi. Muscle is more dense than fat; that is to say for equal volumes of muscle and fat, muscle weighs more. So by working out and gaining muscle, your weight can go up without you getting any bigger around. So keep up your healthy lifestyle of healthy diet and regular exercise; your body will thank you for it in the long run (and the short run)!
