Minimum Body Fat Parameters

[Guest guest]

Hi Christpoher:

From Tony's post # 15764:

" The American Council on Exercise has these classifications for Body

Fat:

.. . . . . . . . . . Women . . . . Men

Essential fat . . . 10-12% . . . 2-4%

Athletes . . . .. . 14-20% . . . 6-13%

Fitness . . . . . . 21-24% . . . 14-17%

In Message 14169 I posted equations that predict Lean Mass gain/loss

based on your initial fat weight. Once you are in the " fitness "

range, any weight losses will include a significant amount of muscle,

not only fat. "
