If I punch my weight into my computer's calculator and then divide it by my body fat percentage and then hit the percent key that gives me the amount of pounds I have in actual fat.
(BTW, if anyone with better math skills than my own, as, I confess, math is not my friend -- feels this calculation is incorrect - please let me know).
Well, using my calculation - my body fat in pounds is 130 lbs.
However, I want to lose (from this point forward) 108 lbs which would leave me with only 22 lbs of fat (Approximately 14% fat).
That doesn't seem like enough body fat unless my breasts and ass completely disappear (which I do not see happening) so does that mean my current goal is unrealistic?
Or unhealthy?
Edited to add: so I googled my question and according to THIS WEBSITE
a woman between the ages of 31 - 40 should have a body fat percentage between 21 and 33 %.
However, THIS WEBSITE states:
The American Council on Exercise recommends the following percentages:
Essential fat
- Women 10-12%
- Men 2-4%
- Athletes
- Men 6-13%
- Women 14-20%
- Non-athletes classed as fit
- Men 14-17%%
- Women 21-24
- Acceptable
- Men 18-25%
- Women 25-31%
- Overweight
- Men 26-37%
- Women 32-41%
- Obese
- Men 38% or more
- Women 42% or more
How do I do that? Unless I end up losing some muscle?
I am so confused right now.
