Ok so I read that 40% of fatty tissue in humans is water. So when calculating the rate at which you’ll be shedding fat, do you actually lose [(the amount of fat you burn) x 1.66]g ?
Say I’ll be eating at a 1100kcal weekly deficit for 12 weeks.
1100 x 12 (no. weeks) / 9 (kcal per g of fat) = g of fat burnt off over 12 weeks (assuming very efficient fat burning)
1100 x 12 / 9 = 1466.7g
So at the end of the 12 weeks, should I expect to be 1466.7g lighter (the amount of fat I’m expecting to burn), or should I be 1466.7g x 1.66 lighter (assuming you lose an additional 0.66g of water per 1g of fat as fatty tissue)?
(1.66 being 100/60)
