Can you help me? My body fat is 21% and I was woundering how many pounds of that is. I doin't know how to turn the body fat % into actual pounds.

I may be wrong but if your whole weight = 100%, say 130 lbs, and your body fat is 21% of that, then isn't .21 * 130 = the lbs of fat on your body?

Hi there, Well if my daughter's algebra homework is correct: Bodyweight X .21 = Pounds of Fat Bodyweight - Pounds of Fat = Lean Body Weight (muscle)
