Convert your weight to grams to find equivalent volume of water in cm^3
(1kg = 1000cm^3 of water)
Lower density translates to greater volume . . . (density is inversely proportional to volume for a given mass)
divide by ( 5/6 ) or invert ( 6/5 ) and multiply
Your volume (cm^3) should be about 20% more than your weight in grams.
If your answer is less then 50,000cm^3 you need a snack,
if it's more than 100,000cm^3 you want a snack!
