BOOBS!

Ok so we all know boobs are fat(and while I love mine) I'm just wondering what kind of effect that's having on my bf% results... because a A-cup with my exact measurements and weight would have more lean tissue than I do, which brings me to my question... Anyone know a way to
A) accurately weigh them so that I can deduct that from my weight for a better accuracy of lean tissue
a formula for calculating lean tissue that takes into account boob size or measurements
It doesn't really matter when it comes down to it I mostly judge my success on my strength increases and measurements decreasing, but it's late and I'm bored so I figured no harm in asking : )

I would think your ta-tas would have to be huge to have that profound of an impact on those percentages. while mostly fat, it's not 100%0

right, not 100% fat but very little metabolic tissue unless you're nursing, which I haven't been for eh.. about four years so pretty much just dead weigh/ decoration : )0

If you measure to find your BMI. Either by measuring your neck, waist, and hips or by using body calipers your breast fat will have zero impact.0

That's how I see it.
I use both calipers and the calculator on F2F and neither takes boobs into the equation.

Weigh your boobs? Haha maybe on a digital food scale lol. I've actually thought about doing that once because I truly feel like mine each weight at least 7 pounds and am constantly messing with them. I'm serious about the food scale. Its the only thing that I can think of that would be able to do that lol unless of course they could weight them during a mammogram but you look too young for that.0

Thanks y'all. calipers are definitely on my buy list, but there are a few other things ahead of them, I was just curious at between D-DD they feel huge(especially when I'm working out)
A digital scale is actually on my list ahead of calipers so I might try that when I get it lol.
this post was mostly boredom driven as opposed to a need to know.
Hope everyone's having a lovely night!

Let me know what y'all find out! I don't get to get my scale till after the 15th lol. I am right there with you about the jiggly bounce, I wear my best supporting underwire bra plus a cheap-o sports bra that's probably 2 sizes too small for me to keep them pinned down and in place!0

Weighed mine on a digital food scale! Left one 2 lbs., right one 2 lbs. 4 oz.! I really thought they would weigh more! lol0

hhhmmmm - will follow this with interest. My only (constructive) thoughts are .... a very good sports bra must be an absolute must for a lady.0

sports bras are over rated.. or for smaller ones.. I've yet to even try on one that I can breath in and do a jumping jack comfortably in..0 -

Probably the best, and most accurate way to measure chest weight is to use the water displacement method. It came up as a topic when I was chatting to some therapist friends as a way of advising clients how much added weight their shoulders and back were taking, and the importance of having a well-fitting bra. Here's an article about it:

Edit-tablet has a habit of changing my non words to something completely different, even if it's a common abbreviation that I use like "n"0 -

So many times in the past I bought smaller tops thinking the tighter the better and yeah it is tighter and hold your *kitten* in but at the same time cracks a few ribs and has you gasping for air lol. And I'll be damned if I am getting a boob reduction. I lifting a lot of weights right now with Les Mills Pump and just heard a trainer tell me that women are going down in boob sizes. His lip almost went up a size after he told me I can count on going down to a size C haha.0 -
Well, I think the BF guidelines for women most likely include the fact that we have fatty boobs, so if you go by those guidelines, maybe don't worry about the boobs?0

I just looked up body fat percentages, and man, i am glad to be a woman. we get to have a good 12% more body fat than men. (That's nearly double)
I'd rather have a higher fat percentage than no boobs :happy:0 -
