Body Fat vs. Muscle

[habitualhealth]

Can someone edumacate me...how do you determine body fat weight vs muscle weight? Is there an equation or something? (i'm horrible with math)

Are you familiar with LBM (lean body mass)?

Let's say you weigh 100 lbs. You are currently holding 20% body fat.

Your LBM = total weight - BF

LBM = 80 lbs


Muscle weighs more then fat. It is also mainly created and maintained by water.

1 Pound of muscle = 1 pound of fat

Muscle is more dense than fat, however & takes up less space.....
