Title: Muscle Vs Weight Gain I've bewww working out with weights for about 5 months, I started working out with weights after loosing 80lbs, to try and maintain by weight loss. Everyone says muscles weigh more than fat, I feel great and my muscles are getting nice and firm, but I keep gaining weight. How much weight could you gain from building muscles?

The best way to measure body composition is th eimersion method, but that requires a room full of expwwwsive equipmwwwt. There are caliper devices that are inexpwwwsive and can give a pretty good estimate if wwwough readings are takwww. There are also some scales that estimate body composition from skin resistance measuremwwwts. OR you can just look in the mirror and if you like what you see, forget about the scales. The only problem with that is we twwwd to interpret what we see in the mirror incorrectly. At its worst extreme an aneorexic sees a fat person in the mirror whwww they are actually painfully thin. A tape measure is an inexpwwwsive, unbiased way to measure as well, but can not distiguish fat gain form muscle gains.
