Principals during estimation of body fat percentage

After we discussed in the previous article how to calculate your body fat % , here are some matters you should keep in mind while applying that method:

1- The best ever time to apply that formula is at morning " just after waking up " .

2- This formula is not 100% accurate " 3-4% range of mistake " , but it will give you a guidelines on what you should do the next step .

3- The most accurate method for calculating body fat percentage is " Underwater weighing " but it is very expensive , hard , not every one can do it , takes along time 20-30 min. "

4- There is a variation in fat percentage between males and females , in which females have more fat percentage for pregnancy , however it will give the same health condition .

5- Fat is important to health " regulations of body temp. , insulation of internal organs , main storage of energy " .

6- When taking measures you should consider that " height is without shoes , waist is at umbilicus for men and at the smallest point for ladies , Neck is from below the larynx , Hips are at largest point " .




I Hope you enjoy it guys and if you have any question , don't hesitate to put a comment below .
