What percentage of energy is used by the brain?
Previous answer: between six and 10 percent... 4 percent if you are a politician ;). Popular misconceptions don't come any more popular and misconceptiony than this one. Indeed, its origins lie so far back that nobody knows who said it first (various 19th Century quacks believed it, based on skull measurements and whatnot). The concept has since been plugged by everyone from advertisers to psychics, but - boring as it sounds - actual science has shown that we do indeed use just about all of our brains throughout the course of every single day. The mechanisms of the brain may not be fully understood, but the idea of a vast bulk of grey matter lying dormant and mysterious is a myth. Thank you Mr. Fry! 15% of total resting cardiac output is supplied to the brain. This represents 50-55ml blood flow per 100 grams brain tissue per minute, or 750ml total blood flow per minute.

Percentage of human brain usage?
This is actually unknown and all estimates are based solely on conjecture and very little experimental evidence for what a maximum usage would be and how to measure any given usage at any time. The question also means different things at different times. So, more specificity would go a long way. For example, some people want to know how much of the human brain can be used at any given time While others ask, what percent of the human brain, possible connections, and information tracts can be used total and what is the typical human percentage of those.

Why is body fat percentage important?
If a person is overweight, it may not necessarily mean that he or she is not fit. If the reason for being overweight is due to muscle mass, then it is quite OK. However, if the reason for being overweight is due to body fat mass, then action is probably needed to lose weight. In this instance body fat percentage can help to distinguish between overweight due to increased muscle mass (no cause for concern) or due to body fat (need to lose weight). A good bathroom body fat scale can measure body fat percentage.

How do you measure body fat percentage?
There's no way for you, your-self measure it. Doctors and other professions can find it out by using a scale, a hand-held device, or using these tongs to pinch skin all around your body. Hand Held Device - the hand-held device is not accurate at all, so if you do that in high school, take off about 5-7% and that's what you have. I've Tongs- this as far as i know is some what accurate, but since it is measured by a person, who cannot grab all the skin and tissue, it is not too accurate. Scale- This is Very Accurate, it sends a current through your body from the feet, up, and back down. It calculates all sorts of things and will give you the % instantly. I've used the hand-help and it said i had 11% body fat.(I'm skinny, but have muscle, so i knew it was off.) The Scale was perfectly on it and said i have 5% body fat. Hoped I helped.

What is the maximum percentage of your fat calories?
There is no maximum amount of fat that you should/can consume, assuming you consume the essential amount of protein, vitamins and mineral..
The FDA recommend that you keep your fat intake between 20 and 35 E%. This means that if you eat 2000 kcal/day then they recommend that 400 to 700 kcal comes from fat. Divide calories by 9 and you get the amount of fat in grams. But this is just a recommendation and not a "should".
How do you lower body fat percentage?
If you've lost body fat, you've lost weight (obviously). But the answer to this question is not as simple as 'just lose weight'. In an ideal world we would be able to lose body fat without losing muscle at the same time. However, I have yet to see anyone who is able to lose NOTHING but fat, all regimen's of change involve some loss of muscle. However there are some way's to minimize muscle loss while boosting your body fat losing power. Weight loss in general is nothing more than an imbalance of the calorie's in/calorie's out equation (burn more calories than you consume). To imbalance this equation there is the diet+exercise answer. In general, an exercise regimen that includes weight training at least 2x a week will help you maintain and possibly build muscle. This is absolutely essential to body fat lowering because it not only helps you avoid losing muscle weight but helps even out any anatomic imbalances and therefore build muscle which will burn more fat. As far as the diet portion of the program goes eating 5 smaller BALANCED meals a day has the most reported success. Balanced means include a non-refined starch, raw or steamed vegetable and lean protein source, keep the meals between 200-400 calories (depending on gender, age, etc.). In short, lose weight by decreasing caloric intake and exercising in a way that helps you not only boost your short term metabolic rate (cardio) but helps maintain/build muscle mass as well (weight training).

Is fat is the primary fuel for the brain?
Glucose is the only fuel normally used by brain cells. Because neurons cannot store glucose, they depend on the bloodstream to deliver a constant supply blood glucose. A process called glycogenolysis can break down glycogen stored in the liver to glucose. This then travels in the blood to your brain or muscles in need of glucose.
What is the Oxygen percentage in the brain?
Although the brain constitutes only 2 percent of our body mass, it uses 20 percent of the oxygen.In other words, the brain uses up a fifth of the oxygen we breathe.This leaves the brain highly prone to damage during anoxic reactions or episodes.After approximately four minutes without blood(containing oxygen, I'm sure you know), brain cells begin dying.
How do you determine your percentage of body fat?

How can you find out your body fat percentage?
There are a few ways you can do this but they all have their advantages and disadvantages..
1) Have skin-folds taken, see and exercise physiologist, or maybe a doctor or personal trainer to have this done 2) bio-electrical impedance - this is those scales that display your percentage body fat 3) underwater/hydrostatic weighing - not sure where you would go for this or how much it would cost (but this is the gold standard) 4) dual energy x-ray absorpiometry - extremely expensive, and I'm pretty sure you need a doctors referral.
just a quick thing about body fat percentage though, it's only an estimation as it is based on a calculation and it is unlikely to be entirely correct (could be out by something like 10-15% depending on accuracy of testers etc. so if for example your body fat percentage is 25% it really means that it could really be anywhere from 10-40%). my point being do you necessarily want to know or spend money finding this out?

How do you increase the percentage use your brain?
concentrate on what you want and increase your ability of that certain area of the brain.
Does the brain burn fat?
No. That's not the case. It may be said that the brain, like every other part of the body has to dispose of excess glucose as fast as possible so burns glucose before ketones but for every neurone in the brain there are nine astrocytes. Astrocytes prefer to deal with fatty acids rather than glucose as their primary energy fuel and at times of glucose restriction ensure neurones are supplied with ketones. We have to remember the brain is 60% fat and mylene sheath is 70% fat. We have to retain the metabolic flexibility to switch fuels as required. Generally speaking the brain functions better when in ketone burning mode. If you think about it our hunter gatherer ancestors had to be able to hunt wild animals when starving. If their brains/muscles didn't function properly when desperately hungry humans wouldn't have survived the evolutionary process.
Percentage of body weight that is fat?
It really depends on the individual. A very healthy percentage is 20% or less. 30% or less is acceptable. Over 25% for men and over 30% for women is considered obese.

Does marijuana cling to fat cells in your brain?
Sure does! THC (Tetrahydracannabinol) is a lipid (a fat/oil), and it builds up in the brain because your brain is made of fatty substances (mostly Cholesterol . Seriously). Lipids are lipophyllic and generally hydrophobic , meaning they don't stick to water but rather to other oils. Your body is mostly water and your brain is mostly Cholesterol (a lipid) so THC just kinda chills there, playing videogames, eating cheetos and thinking it's a genius.
How do you find percentage of fat?

What percentage of the brain does a genius use?
The notion that we only use some fraction of our brain is based on an oversimplification of an outdated understanding of how the brain actually works (in other words, it's wrong). It may be true that at any given time only a small fraction of your neurons are firing, but that's more because you don't often have a need for the neurons that govern, say, remembering exactly what benzaldehyde smells like (cherries, if you're interested). There's no reason to think that geniuses use a "higher percentage" of their brains than anyone else.... they just do it better, somehow, and we really don't understand exactly how. There is no secret, chemical or morphological, behind a genius using his brain more effectively and successfully than many others. He simply keeps his neurons free of other electrical and chemical impulses, impurities, disturbances, disruptions, cross-currents and short-circuits such as those caused by sudden or continuing erruptions of anger, hate, lust and so on. The ancient Indian philosophers have defined this state of the resultant chemical and electrical special balance as Cleanliness Of Conscience or Kundtalini. Where many people are prone to diverge in their thoughts, emotions and feelings, they are clear-conscious enough to make them converge, thereby reducing the need for using more neurons. Anyway complex thoughts result in the formation of more chemical combinations and more intense and intricate electrical discharges. The projecting of the fore head frontwards in the cource of evolution increased the internal volume of the skull by which more quantity of brain could it contain, which has been critical in the emergence of intellect in man. The erection of the backbone unlike in animals also has been a critical factor. When the backbone remained horizontal to the axis of the Earth, all the excess energy produced was being arrested and pulled down to earth by the gravitational force. But once it became erect, it was freed from the magnetic pull of the earth and all excess and unused energy went straight to the brain and it developed. It is not strange that a sitting sleeper is more conscious and alert than a lying sleeper. When compared to animals, all men are geniuses once they get rid of all rubbish in their brain and do not overcrowd it.
What percentage of the brain is used by humans?
Contrary to common belief, the entire brain is used. The myth that we only use 10% of our brain started because doctors didn't know what some of the parts did. on the other hand some seem to use only 10 percent if you look at how the world is going .
All of the human brain is being used all of the time, just because you arent always running doesnt mean your muscles arent always being used; same with your brain. Nobody knows how much of the brain is used. There is probably some redundancy in the system as there is in every other system in our body. This lets us recover from strokes and head injuries, and continue to think as we age (as neurons die off). The factoid (something that sounds true but isn't) is that we only us e 10% of our brain. The 10 percent statistic may have first been stated by William James (1842-1910) when he said "we are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources" (The Energies of Men, 1908). However no specific "brain use rating" can be determined and in any event he said resources or capacity, not brain hardware. The wording shifted with repetition to be "brain" not "resources" and we wound up with the present incarnation of this statement. Even on the basis of evolution we would probably have pared down the amount of useless brain sometime in the distant past as the brain consumes 20 percent of body oxygen and places significant energy and maintenance demands on the body. Just like our muscles not all the brain is in use at once. The parts of the brain are not equally active active (and luck for us too, as the brain activity creates heat and we don't have the cooling capacity to support that!). It is possible that, like muscles, you can strengthen the brain and get more use of it. But also, like muscles, no one can expect to get 10 times stronger or smarter by exersize. That is known as the "10 percent myth" , actually, Brain imaging research techniques such as PET scans (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) clearly show that the vast majority of the brain does not lie fallow. Indeed, although certain minor functions may use only a small part of the brain at one time, any sufficiently complex set of activities or thought patterns will indeed use many parts of the brain. The normal human uses all parts of the brain at one time or another, but the percent of brain use at any given time is dependent on the circumstances. For example, during important life-endangering situations more of the brain is likely to be used. Watching paint dry, however, requires a fraction of the brain activity. The idea that we only use about 10% of our brain is a common myth. A relevant excerpt from a recent article states: "First of all, it is obvious that the brain, like all our other organs, has been shaped by natural selection. Brain tissue is metabolically expensive both to grow and to run, and it strains credulity to think that evolution would have permitted squandering of resources on a scale necessary to build and maintain such a massively underutilized organ. Moreover, doubts are fuelled by ample evidence from clinical neurology. Losing far less than 90 percent of the brain to accident or disease has catastrophic consequences." The very last sentence answers the question for us. Even a tiny fraction of brain loss results in problems, which suggests all of the brain area is important and vital. In addition the various parts of our brain have been mapped as being related to specific functions (some to do with memory, some with deeper thinking etc.) The whole brain is used for a wide variety of purposes, both conscious and subconscious, voluntary and autonomic.
