Katie Rickel, PhD Psychology  For one, fat tissue is more bulky than muscle tissue, so it occupies more space under the skin. Thus, one pound of fat tissue actually has more volume (and will appear larger) than one pound of muscle tissue. For this reason, a 170-pound woman whose body is composed of 25% fat tissue will appear much leaner than a woman weighing the same but whose body fat percentage is 45%. Therefore, individuals need to assess their weight management efforts using a wide variety of body measurements and health parameters -- focusing solely on the number on the scale can conceal real and important improvements in body composition. Aim for the look and the feel -- not just a number. Secondly, muscle tissue utilizes more calories than fat tissue. What does that mean? Let's take the two 170-pound women mentioned above. The woman with 25% body fat has more muscle tissue, so her body needs more calories to keep its systems running. Thus, she burns more calories -- even when she is just sitting around -- than does her 45% body fat counterpart. As a result, the leaner woman can actually eat more calories each day and maintain her weight as compared to the woman with more fat tissue. What's the difference between flesh, fat, and muscle? Marc Srour, Entomologist (Senckenberg), managing director (Orangereel) Answered Jan 19, 2013 Flesh refers to fat and muscle tissue. Fat, in this context, refers to adipose tissue, which is basically layers of adipocytes (fat cells) stored in specific parts of the body as energy stores. It's what underweight people have too little of, and what obese people have way too much of. Proper exercise burns these energy stores away. Muscle, in this context, is skeletal muscle tissue, otherwise known as meat. It consists of special cells, myocytes, bundled into myofibrils. Your friend's classification isn't very biological, just one based on appearance, or so it seems to me (unless he gives everyone he meets a physiological examination). Bony is very skinny (think anorexic), muscley is athletic, fatty is fat. I assume fleshy is "regular", a step between muscley and fatty. But these are just my guesses. flesh is the soft substance consisting of muscle and fat that is found between the skin and bones of an animal or a human. Meat is the flesh of an animal (especially a mammal) as food. flesh refers to the muscle and fat of an animal or human while meat refers to the flesh of an animal used for food.  English (US) We are made of flesh.
