I recently read in another thread that you should expect to lose 4 pounds of body weight for every 2 percentage points of body fat reduction ... is this accurate ?
I'm at 188 and an all time high of 15% bodyfat and want to get to 10% if possible. When around 12% BF in past summers I always wanted to be alittle leaner , though I certainly wasn't looking fat at 12% BF.
According to that calculation , I'll have to drop to below 180 ... lose 10 lbs (!) to hit 10% ... does that sound right ? I just have this phobia about not weighing less than 180 - 182 since I've worked so hard to get where I am.
On the average, does this 4lbs = 2% body fat sound right to you guys ? :think:
