Why Is Body Fat Ratio More Meaningful Than BMI?
BMI only looks at the height-to-weight relationship and cannot distinguish muscle from fat mass. Body fat measurement, on the other hand, shows the ratio of fat mass to total mass, so it reflects your muscle mass and true health status far more accurately. Our calculation uses the reliable US Navy method, also used in clinical settings, which needs nothing more than a tape measure.
How Should You Interpret Your Body Fat Result?
Your result falls into one of the "essential fat", "athletic", "fitness", "acceptable" and "obese" categories. Especially in people with a high waist circumference, the fat ratio can come out high even if they look "thin" (skinny-fat). This calls for a dedicated training program aimed at lowering fat ratio while preserving muscle mass.
The First Step to Lowering Your Fat Ratio
The basis of reducing body fat is a calorie deficit combined with regular resistance training. Doing cardio alone can lead to muscle loss. A program prepared with a professional trainer both accelerates fat loss and preserves your muscle mass.
