Calculating Body Fat
by rawkaren on 06 Oct 2014, 15:04
I started off at the scale at the gym, which measured my body fat different to what I have at the Withings at home. These are the results:
Home 37.2%
Gym 35%
Gym on athletic setting 30%
Well it just goes to show that body fat is hard to measure. I decided just to take it as a point of reference and resolve to get either the first or second one down to under 30% as a start.
I have carried on Fast-5ing, one carb re-feed (I'm only slightly overweight) plus a protein fast. I know now that you can do the carb re-feed and the protein fast on the same day so long as you steer clear of fat on that day. I'm working on increasing my protein intake and will report back as I need to build muscle if I'm to lose some of this fat. As a gauge, my sister who is 4'11 and totally ripped, regularly eats more than 3000 calories a day, but she is an extreme example as she works out alot. If I ate that amount of food, I would be obese.
This week I'm working away so I need to Fast-5 during the day as there are meals out at night. I tried it yesterday and it was alright but I prefer it the other way around if I'm honest.
