How to tell whether it is muscle or fat?

Fat and muscle are two completely different tissues in the human body.

1. Fat is composed of fat cells. Its main function is to store energy. It can also buffer (impact) and preserve heat for the body.

2. Muscles are composed of muscle cells (muscle fibers), which have contraction function and help the body make various movements.

3. The fat is bright yellow and appears in an irregular long strip shape, while the muscle is a small blood-red mass.

4. There is a big difference in moisture and molecular density between fat and muscle.

5. The volume of fat is relatively ‘loose’ and is similar to ‘cotton and steel’ when compared with muscle.

6. Muscle and fat will not transform into each other. Muscle will not turn into fat, and fat cannot be exercised into muscle.

7. You can try to tighten the muscles in a certain part and see if you can pinch a little flesh with your fingers. The less subcutaneous fat, the harder it is to pinch it.
