Realistically yah can't without true scientific weightings and all that crap... But every Sunday morning before I eat, I get about 4 lbs/bf readings from the POS bf scale I have, average them, throw into an excel spreadsheet and my log on my bodyspace on bb.com to try to gauge it that way...

for example:
Say weight is 151 and bf is reading at 20%... 20% of 151 is 30.2lbs of bf... which leaves 120.8 of organs, bones, blood, food matter & muscle.

2 month later, say weight is 152 and bf is 18%... 27.36lbs of bf and 124.6 of the rest...

That shows a change of +3.8 of lbm (since the rest of the organs, bones, blood food matter really isn't going to change that much weight wise) and -2.84 of bf...

I understand the bf scale & bf calipers really isn't so accurate week to week, but over the long run it would be better to compare results..

Visually, I can tell my bf is going going down in my stomach area and my strength is going up.
