I don't think so.

"This is perhaps the most commonly held belief among fitness enthusiasts. Muscle and fat are two different kinds of tissue and one cannot turn into another. When muscles are not used, they begin to shrink (a process called atrophy). If you keep maintaining a weightlifters diet and do not exercise, you will gain weight because you are not burning off the extra calories. The process of muscle gain and fat gain however are completely different."

He doesn't mean the "fat", what Alex means is Fat people tend to have larger eating habits. (Yes it is true...surprise ?) SO the whole process in many ways has alot of what it needs in comparision to a lot of normal sized people.
