A member asked:
If a kg is a kg despite fluid or mass, then why do they say muscle weighs more than far and the scales are higher after you work,out than if you didnt?

You are right: You are right in saying that a kilogram of fat would weigh the same as a kilogram of muscle. The point that is being made usually is that if you initiate a muscle building exercise program, it is not always associated with weight loss because of the gain in muscle mass that may occur.
