Since Mich is in the thread... does the old line "muscle weighs more than fat" actually count as a valid excuse for why increasing your exercise doesn't reduce your weight?
I started cycling a few months back - now averaging 30min a day I'd say. My thighs are visibly more muscly, and very much so to the touch - there are definite chunks of muscle where before there were none.
But is that kind of change likely to involve a non-negligible increase in muscle mass, i.e. measured in multiple pounds?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

If you have visible muscle growth on your legs, you can assume that counts for a few kilos of gain; look at a 1kg lump of pork you'd make for Sunday roast, and imagine that spread over the full length and breadth of both your legs and your bum muscles (gluteus); it should be clear that the 1kg gain in muscle would only just be visible on your legs, so visibly bigger legs can mean perhaps 3 kg of gain, depending obviously on how long your legs are and whether you're being honest with yourself.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
