Answers: If fat is very light, then why do you gain weight if you gain fat? I just don't understand it.

because your body only needs so much. Any excess that your body can't handle at the moment gets stored as fat. This is usually the case with simple carbohydrates that contain a lot of sugar. Fat isn't a total bad thing, a lot of people depend on that fat reserve to keep them alive in certain situations. However if you live in a modern striving city, you really don't need to be storing all that fat, so don't eat more then you should be eating.

Because fat is extra and it dosnt do any good to your body

Yet to much of it , it becomes to be heavy

Another fact is muscle weighs more then fat but muscle burns calories while you rest when fat is just fat

Fat is lighter than bone and muscle, but not lighter than air. If you were floating in the ocean and you gained fat you would float slightly better, since fat is lighter than water.

Fat = oil, so think about a gallon of oil vs a gallon of water. The oil is lighter than water but it's still not so light that you can carry 100 gallons of oil easily.

I hope that this makes sense to you.

Fat and muscle have the same dinsety. however fat is fluffy and muscle is tight this is the difference.
