answers2: To determine body fat, you need to have this checked. The
most accurate way is with water displacement, but it's not that
practical. You can go to a nearby gym and have them check you with the
calipers. <br>
<br>
Once you have your body fat percentage, you can figure out how much
lean weight you are. While this won't tell you exactly how much your
muscles weigh alone (it includes bone mass, internal organs, blood,
etc.), checking your body fat and weight regularly will show you how
much muscle you've gained since you aren't going to gain more in bone,
skin, blood, or organ weight. <br>
<br>
<br>
Here's an example. <br>
<br>
*BF Check 1: You are 25% body fat. <br>
*Weight Check 1: You weigh 200lbs. <br>
*Calculation for Lean Mass: 25% of 200lbs is 50lbs, so you have 50lbs
of fat and 200 - 50 = 150lbs of lean mass. <br>
<br>
*BF Check 1: You are 20% body fat. <br>
*Weight Check 1: You weigh 190lbs. <br>
*Calculation for Lean Mass: 20% of 190 is 38lbs, so you have 38lbs of
fat and 190 - 38 = 152lbs of lean mass. <br>
*Calculation for Muscle Mass Gained: Current Lean Mass - Previous Lean
Mass = Muscle Mass Gained. In this case, 152 - 150 = 2lbs gained in
muscle. <br>
*Calculation for Fat Lost: Current Fat Weight - Previous Fat Weight.
In this case, 38 - 50 = -12, meaning you lost 12lbs of fat. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <br>

P.S. Pay no attention to the BMI. It's complete BM-Bullsh*t. It was
never intended to judge health or fat, but just for statistical
purposes of height-to-weight ratios in an area.
answers3: well typically you want to do one or the other but not both
at the same time I dropped down from 180 to 154, now I'm back up to
170 with the muscle I packed on... First of all you'll want to eat an
all natural diet, and focus on your training. Stick to a caveman diet,
meaning no complicated foods. Meat, eggs, plants, nuts, berries,
that's it. Wholegrain oats are okay too. Once you get down to a good
weight then add designer whey protein to your diet and take it after
workouts and before you go to bed. In order to lose the fat you'll
want to do an aerobic workout that includes *some* weight lifting. I
got into muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu which has done wonders for
my physique, and I take some of the exercises I've learned from there
to the gym: warm up: *run on the treadmill for 1 mile *200 jumping
jacks *do your stretch routine and hold each stretch for 20 seconds
work out: *200 jumping jacks *50 knee raises each knee *20 burpees *10
pull ups *200 jumping jacks *40 push ups *stair climber for 20 minutes
or run another mile cooldown: *100 crunches *50 leg lifts *100 sit ups
now stretch out your abs Also if you want to lose fat you can't eat so
much... I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. You should lose fat
and build some muscle with this routine; feel free to modify it to
your needs.
