Muscle can't turn to fat, and fat can't turn into muscle. They are two different kinds of tissue. Lean body tissue (muscle) actually burns more calories than fatty body tissue..thus body builders and athletes can eat far more without gaining fat because the caloric requirements are far higher than an average person. Super buff guys that get fat do so because their eating habits don't change and the amount of lean tissue atrophies without exercise. The result...the body stores the excess calories as fat.
