Can muscle turn into fat or fat into muscle?

Muscle cannot be turned into fat. If you stop training you will naturally lose muscle size. You could possibly put on fat because you are still eating the same amounts of food that you were eating while you were active and training. Your metabolic rate will also decline because you are losing active muscle tissue. All of this will decrease daily energy expenditure and promote fat gain. You will get fat because you have lost muscle which causes fat gain. One can not physiologically turn into the other!!
