Body Fat Composition Ranges Why Measure Body Fat? The key to long-term weight management and better health is building lean muscle and losing body fat. Being healthy doesn’t mean getting "skinny." A thin person can have an excess of body fat. A muscular person can technically be overweight, but healthy. Getting and staying lean means controlling your body fat percentage. Measuring estimated body fat and weight together gives you a more accurate picture of your total fitness.

A Healthy Lifestyle Being "thin" does not mean being "fit"! Amy and Sue are both 5'4" and weigh 150 pounds (68 kg). Each has a starting body fat percentage of 35.7%. To get fit, Amy cut calories and tried a "fat-free" diet. Sue reduced her calorie intake, but added regular aerobic exercise and strength training. At the end of eight weeks, each woman lost 15 pounds (6 kg). What's the difference? As you can see from the chart, Amy actually got "fatter," gaining body fat.

Monitor your Body Fat Every body is different, and ever-changing. It's not uncommon for your weight to fluctuate by as much as three pounds throughout the day. While this is normal - usually associated with changes in hydration - it does change your body composition slightly. Therefore, it is important to establich your personal baseline before you set your fitness goals. The first 7-10 days you use your Body Fat Monitoring Scale, record your weight and body fat percentage in this chart.
