Muscle mass is composed much differently in our body in comparison to fat mass.
Let's take a look at our definitions of each, presented in layman's terms:
Definition of Muscle Mass
Compacted, lean and the origin of physical strength when prompted by signals giving direction within the body. Think of this centralization as a circuitry that is dormant until the power is switched on.
Definition of Fat Mass
If we were to visually view this mass we'd see that it looks much like wads of chicken fat.
Thank goodness that as we gain weight the body deals with the excess energy values and stores them neatly into cells which add a smooth extra layer to the body - rather than grouping globs all over the place, creating a bumpy body.
Sure, the cellulite causes dimpling at times - but take note that even thin individuals deal with cellulite.
Let's take a look at the muscles within the human body - keeping in mind that the heart is the largest among the pack.
