@johnwosborn@UnFatDavid@bakrantz Muscle is denser than fat. And your front squat looks awesome.
I haven't stepped on a scale in over a year, but I've maintained my 32" waist in pants since my 100+ pound fat loss and return to health.
Before you "do your own research" - consider getting a formal education in science - because those of us who do or have done research - that is the basics. Oh and if you think you found new biochemistry through Carnivore - start with bio 101, you failed
@WhitneyGrenaway It's (the pushup) not a movement I've been working on. And I weigh a lot. The slender ladies of yoga kick ass where big strong burly guys come up short.
The caloric attribute of any compound does not predict that compounds physical properties, chemical behavior, molecular structure, or atomic weight.
Energy is always balanced and never not balanced. Mass is always balanced and never not balanced. (relativity aside)
Energy in (the caloric attribute of what you've eaten) is not equivalent of mass in (the amount of substance of what you've eaten.)
For example, 100 Calories of acetic acid has a mass of 28 grams while 100 Calories of linoleic acid 11 grams.
