Muscle and fat are entirely different tissues, meaning muscle cannot physically turn into fat. When you stop training, you slowly lose muscle mass, while fat may accumulate separately if your calorie intake remains high. Engaging in just a small amount of maintenance training, like lifting twice a week, is enough to protect your hard-earned gains.
GainFrame Guy. Does muscle turn to fat?#1 The big myth. Muscle and fat are two completely different tissues.#2 What really happens. Stop training and you slowly lose muscle — not transform it.#3 Fat fills the gap. Eat the same while moving less and fat creeps in separately.#4 Keep your muscle. Quitting cold turkey loses it — lifting twice a week keeps it.#5 Use it or lose it. A little maintenance training protects years of gains.
