If somebody has 10% body fat, what is it mean? This person weighs 100 pounds and having 10% fat which is equal to 10 pounds of fatty tissue and 90 pounds of other, so called lean tissue.
Body fat percentage can be estimated from a person's BMI by the following formula:
Bodyfat% = (1.2 * BMI) + (0.23 * age) − 5.4 − (10.8 * gender)
where gender is 0 if female and 1 if male
