Body Fat Percentage - Fat loss and muscle gain
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to ask you that know...How does one measure body fat? I see folks posting on web pages and places that they have x amount of body fat or a percentage of body fat. How do you find your body fat percentage. Also, I think that BMI means Body Mass Index. Is this the same as body fat percentage. I've read places where people state they lose x amount of weight in fat and gain x amount of muscle. How can you differentiate between the two? Thanks in advance for the replies and sorry for my ignorance, Paul 300/245/175 http://community.webshots.com/user/paul76180 |

I also know there are a couple of good sites for using the calipers for measuring but I don't have them bookmarked. Maybe someone else will post them. I have Tanita scales at home I use to keep track of my body fat. I also belong to Curves and get my BF measured there. Hope this helps Beverly |
