Muscle is muscle and fat is fat! Ever hear someone say " your muscle will turn to fat if you stop working out"? Well, thats not true !
Muscle cells will always be muscle cells and fat cells will always be fat cells.
Our bodies have a fixed number cells and cannot create any more. But you CAN create bigger muscles(hypertrophy)through resistance training. In other words, the quantity of cells will remain the same, but they will increase in size. Similarly if you discontinue exercising, you may experience some muscular atrophy ( shrinking ) , which iis the opposite of hypertrophy .
Want another great reason to watch what you eat ?
Fat cells are a place where your body stores energy. Your body can and will continue to create fat cells to store more energy if it needs to ( If you consume more calories than your body needs ).If you burn (use up) that stored energy , you are decreasing the size of the fat cells - but once your body has created them , they are there to stay .
Food for thought , No pun intended.
