How much fat is equal to 1% of body fat?

[tbolfist]

..>Is there a way to figure this out? I was reading Eastos thread and thought of the question.

EXAMPLE: If someone has 25% body fat at 195lbs how much fat/weight would have to be lost to get to 15% body fat??

As I'm thinkin abou this it seems that I am not thinking (Asking stupid questions)...COmmon sense would be that if someone weighed 200lbs with 25% body fat they were have 25lbs of fat...

Lol.

they would need to lose 24lbs of fat assuming their lbm of 146lbs stayed constant.

Actual fat mass = weight x BF%
ex: someone weights 240 lbs with 20% bf, his fat is 240 x 20% =48 lbs

Do they not teach basic algebra in schools now?

ahwell. I'll make it simple.

If somebody weights 100 lbs and has 1% body fat, then they have 1 lb of body fat.

I think a better question is lets say I'm 200lbs at 10% BF that means I'm carrying 20lbs of fat, lets say I work out like mad and build 100lbs of muscle taking me up to 300lbs my bf% has now dropped to 6.6% and yet i'm carrying the same amount of fat.....

Not everyone is as smart as you...If we were we'd have answers to everyone's questions just like you...And we would be online 24hours a day...Maybe when I, and everyone else, is 70 years old we could spend all of our time online and be as smart as you.

I wound have been able to tell you this is fifth grade without having spent any time online.

How the hell do you figure out how much to tip at a restaurant?

Read my first post...I admitted it was a stupid question...

Tip? I could ask you...

Common sense would be that if someone weighed 200lbs with 25% body fat they were have 25lbs of fat...

200 lbs * .25 = 50 lbs

Stupid ain't the right word, LOL. and Mranak has a point its fucking simple math, unless your "special" it shouldn't be too hard. I'm assuming most people on this forum are atleast out of highschool or old enough enough to be for that matter.

 

[outlawtas]

I think I understand what your getting at.

If you weigh 200lbs with 10% bodyfat you have 20lbs of bodyfat. But if you drop 5% bodyfat you now weigh 190lbs @ 5%body fat, which is a total bodyfat 9.5lbs, slightly lower than half. Just think of it the easy way...ur making it complicated.

Everyone has stupid threads and/or posts except for mranak....O, wait, I forgot about this mess...

One thing of mention. If I die, then please don't ya'all go around telling everyone that I had a heart condition or some shit like that like you always hear when someone died from gear. I don't use rec drugs, never have. My heart has no known genetic problems. If I die before I'm 30, then Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) is likely the culprit.

I really wasn't trying to make fun of you previously; I really do want to know how it is that kids are getting through school without learning simple math.

I barely passed math in high school...., C student in college math including statistics...

And if you are being serious, American school systems suck...Other countries out do us in math and reading...Look around at our future...

This is absolutely true.

I have no doubt that you could easily do the math discussed here and much much more if you had been given appropriate instruction.

Amazing.... America spends more on education per student than any other country in the world: $6-8k/year.

I didn't realize that America spends more on education than any other country...I know that America spends millions on education outside of America...I guess theres no excuse for how F*d up the Americans school system is...
