Shedding weight can be risky because you may be reducing beneficial calorie burning muscle also. We are each and every one of us made up of fat and sinewy body mass of which the latter includes bone, muscle, organs, blood, water and pretty much all else. To work as it should our body wants a guaranteed amount of fat and this is what we call essential fat. Because this vital fat performs important work in the body, women have a higher level of it than men, all brought about by the functions they play in life. An excessive intake of calories above our wants are not burned off so they are changed to and stored as fat. The weight we want to melt away is comprised of this excess fat. The country you come from can give some remarkable insights when bearing in mind body make-up. In some countries being fat is valued, in others it is not but whatever the opinion, how a person is made up depends on whether they are male, female, young or old. Guides for groups classified according to fitness assist you to find out what your body fat percentage must be. If you are unsure what is meant by this the following should explain it. Assume you weigh 200 pounds and have 50 pounds of body fat then your body fat percentage would be 50/200 = 0.25 or 25% While contentious, a great number of individuals believe in using fat percentage to determine fitness levels. A regularly used practice is still however the (BMI) or body mass index. The use of this method does tend to give odd results on occasion perhaps because of the estimates involved in the calculations. Someone with a lot of lean muscle mass can be classified as overweight or even obese whilst the fat percentage shows them to be an excellent physical specimen. Let us examine the case of a very overweight person according to the American Council on Exercise guidelines. In this case the male subject is 250 pounds and has a body fat percentage of 40% In line with the BMI of 19 - 21 for his height of 70 ins the subject should weigh 140 pounds. However his body fat is 40% of 250 pounds = 100 pounds. His lean body mass therefore is 250 100 = 150 pounds. He is required to eradicate 110 pounds in order to meet the BMI weight of 140 pounds. That is the whole 100 pounds of fat together with 10 pounds of fundamental lean body mass, nearly every pound no doubt being muscle.
Slide 2: Not the best of options! Getting his body fat percentage to 18% - 25% would be the healthier option for this man. In this range the individual would be able to set a goal weight in the area of 200 pounds. It can be seen from this that to set a realistic goal weight a person needs to know their body fat percentage. Measuring Your Body Fat Percentage Measuring an individuals body fat is not an easy mission and a range of techniques are used with the best demanding the body density be measured. Using scientific principles the volume of the body is found from the volume of water it displaces and then the density can be calculated. This is all rather difficult and so estimates come into play here as well but they cover more than simply height making for more accuracy. BMI looks at body height alone for working out body fat but this system also takes in to consideration the quantity of body fat in skin folds measured in specific places on the body. It is easy to find body fat calculators on the internet where you type in the measurements and the percentage is displayed. Other necessary tools can also be acquired, online in many cases, and some of these are callipers, body analysers and calculators.
