Nope, the logic that muscle can turn into fat, or that fat can turn into muscle is just flawed. Its a physical impossibility. If you have a large amount of msucle mass at the moment and stop exercising those muscles, all that is going to happen is that they will atrophy over time. They'll just shrink. I would say this myth was perpetuated by the fact that if you were to totally stop all exercise, you would gain fat. But thats a whole seperate issue. Muscle loss and fat gain would occur at the same time, but due to different reasons.
