Thats hilarious. But, you know what? My Dad thought this. But, it doesn't work that way!! Muscle can't magically become fat!

This myth make me laugh tearfully . ;''')
First time I heard about it 8 years ago, I did not know much about anatomy and physiology. Back then I knew it just did not make sense lol

Muscle for sure doesn't turn into fat. But I know from experience that it doesn't take long for the muscle to atrophy and that would give the appearance of muscle turning to fat in an uneducated person.

Spot on Catherine could not agree more.
Not only it does not take long for a muscle to decrease in size resulting in this horrific appearance, also people usually turn a blind eye omitting to mention poor nutrition

Oh yes, they do! My mother constantly quoted that to me--she HATED me doing weight training: it was so "unfeminine." Never mind that I was a nursing major and might just know something about anatomy, physiology, and how one type of tissue cannot possibly turn into something else. Now her dementia is so bad that she hasn't known who I am for years. So I'll just keep working out, thank you very much.
