How big is a pound of fat ?

If Like me you have always wondered how big a pound of fat actually is this may help .

The density of adipose tissue (fat) is 0.9196 kg/L.

So by doing a little math:
(0.9196 kg/L)(2.2046226 lbs/kg) = 2.027 lbs/L

So if you picture a 2 liter bottle of soda, it holds about 4 lbs of fat.

or more of a shock for me a stone of fat is the equivalent of 3 1/2
bottles of soda !!!
