Measuring fat using a body fat measurement calculator allows you to see your muscle/fat ratio. Adding foods to your diet that aid your body in building lean muscle and reducing foods that store fat will quickly allow you to shed any excess weight. Muscle will be visible, giving your body a much leaner appearance. Muscle is your metabolic furnace, the more you have, the more you burn. Muscle is the key to permanent fat loss.

You can easily measure your ratios using the following body fat measurement calculator. To calculate LBM (lean body mass), the total weight of the body minus the fat, you must know your current weight and BF (body fat) percentage.

1. Weight =
2. BF percentage =
3. Multiply BF percentage by weight to determine pounds of fat.
4. Subtract pounds of fat to determine LBM.

Using the BF measurement calculator above helps you determine your lean body mass. If you would like to know your true ideal weight, a simple test can be done by following the outline below.

1. Current weight =
2. Current BF percentage =
3. Current fat weight in pounds =
4. Current lean mass in pounds =
5. Desired BF percentage =
6. Determine percentage of lean mass by percentage of lean mass at desired BF by subtracting desired BF by 1.
7. Divide current lean mass by percentage of lean mass at desired BF percentage to reveal your true ideal weight.

The body fat measurement calculator and ideal weight calculator above will educate you on the current state of your ratios as well as help you with your goals.
