Myth: If you don’t work out, your muscle will turn into fat
‘Many people believe that if they gain muscle from working out, but then stop working out, that the muscle turns into fat. Muscle and fat are two very different tissues made up of very different types of cells, just like bone and skin are two very different tissues.
When muscular people get out of shape, they often gain some excess fat, and because of the extra fat over the muscle, an out-of-shape muscular person looks less toned, and it looks like the muscle has turned into fat, but it really has not.’ – James Smoliga, MD, associate professor of physiology in the Congdon School of Health Sciences at High Point University
