Buoyancy of body fat

:ninja: It still won't get me past that stupid court order, make one little mistake (or six) and people remember it forever! Jeez!

Wow! Six mistakes?! That's amazing! However, I've had ten. Just hope they let me carry that spear gun again...... :258:

Butter, which is pretty much all fat, has a specific gravity of .87, so five pounds of butter displaces 4.35 pounds of water.

In round numbers, add a pound of lead for each eight pounds of fat.

I try to eat healthy, so I usually go with margarine.
So if I have a stick of Parkay, say 1.25 pounds, I will need to add how much lead?

How much of that is going to be retained and in what form?

It matters little what you eat since most of it will be on it's way in thirty-something hours, usually less.

What you retain is the issue.

You are assuming that your weight gain is only fat. Have you considered that part of the increased weight is muscle gain from recliner aerobics, laps to the fridge, remote control exercises, and the weight training involved in just lugging around those extra pounds?
Sounds like your holidays were fun too.
