re calculating pounds of muscle

<snip> There must be tables giving the average weight
of skeleton and organs by height, surely?

"Broadly speaking, in a healthy woman of average weight, fat tissue
makes up 27 percent of total body weight, muscle tissue about 35
percent and skeleton about 12 percent. In a man of average weight, the
approximate percentages are 15 percent fat, 45 percent muscle, 15
percent skeleton. The remaining 25 percent or so, in both cases, is
composed of skin, blood plasma, connective tissue, tendons, organs,
hair and so on." From: http://www.annecollins.com/healthy-weight-information.htm
