Oh.. Thanks for posting.
Some I did know but a lot I did not.
I was kinda sad to read you can't target fat in a specific area!

#4: it would make sense that people think "muscle weighs more than fat" because it's really an explanation for seeing the scale higher but feeling smaller; if muscle is smaller and denser than fat, then you could have more pounds of muscle and still take up less space than if you had fat.
#6: I heard that the best time to exercise is in the morning because exercise heightens your metabolism and therefore you would have a higher metabolism throughout the day. True/False?
I have also heard that intense cardio over a certain amount (like 30 min) can cause the body to start burning muscle. Has anyone else heard this? It doesn't seem logical.

For awhile I was lifting weights in the morning, just two exercises, four sets, 15 reps. After about a week of doing this every morning I had INCREDIBLE energy for the rest of the day. I would go to work and look out the window wishing I could run laps around the building!!
But there are morning people and there are night people. I thought I was a night person until I realized that I just binge at night, but if I get up early, work out, and eat healthy all day, I can go to bed early and avoid my dangerous hours!

Muscle does weight more per unit volume than fat. Comparing the weight of 1 pound of fat and 1 pound of muscle is pointless. It's like comparing 1 pound of feathers to 1 pound of iron: they weigh the same, 1 pound! If you measure one cup of fat (not that you would, ew) then it would weigh less than one cup of muscle because muscle DOES weigh more than fat. The point of this myth is not that they have different weights, it is that you won't gain muscle fast enough to show weight gain from exercise that quickly. I just thought you might want to know that they DO NOT weigh the same.

This is a great post- it is amazing how many people stubbornly hold onto some of these myths as truths! Thank you!

Great post! c:
I think I need further clarification about the "fat-burning zone", though. I've heard about it before, as well as caloris in-calories out, but if the fat-burning zone burns more fat, why would it not matter if you train there or not? I'm confused! D:
