A member asked:
Does fat distribution change if you gain weight with exercise instead of gaining without exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: With exercise, most of weight gain is muscle. Without exercise, most is fat. After starting exercise you may notice clothing fits more loosely but weight stays same or goes up. This is because muscle weighs more than fat on a volume basis. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
