Understanding Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is a clearer indicator of fitness and health progress than overall body weight alone.
1. Why Body Fat % Matters More Than Weight
- • Muscle vs. Fat: Muscle is denser than fat, meaning you can look leaner without seeing weight changes on the scale.
- • Health Insights: Maintaining a healthy body fat ratio supports hormone balance and cardiovascular health.
- • Progress Tracking: Helps ensure your caloric deficit targets fat loss rather than muscle loss.
2. General Health Ideal Ranges
- • Women (Essential / Athletes): 14% – 24%
- • Women (Fitness / Acceptable): 21% – 31%
- • Men (Athletes / Fitness): 6% – 17%
- • Men (Acceptable): 18% – 24%
