Help with calculating and determining Body Fat Percentage loss for a friendly competition.? I began a body fat % loss challenge with some friends. I'd like to know the best way to determine the winner. We thought about going off of weight percentage lost, but felt it would be unfair to those who had less weight to lose. There were also some concern because some wanted to lift weights... so then we went with whoever dropped more body fat percentage. But we feel unsure about using this method. We feel someone who started at 45% body fat would have an easier time dropping than someone with 20% body fat. This is where the problem arises. What should we do? How do we judge the winner fairly?
my body fat percentage is 10% is this bad? I have read that athlete women should not have a body fat percentage that's lower than 20%. When I went to a nutritionist she calculated my body fat for me and it was 11%, thru out highschool and college it's hovered between 10-11& (at highest percent). But yet I am 5'1 and 110 lbs. That leaves me with almost 10 lbs of fat on my body while the rest is muscle mass. Is this bad? I used to be a dancer, and before a gymnast, I've always been small and I feel fine this way. Are there any negatives effects of having too low a body fat % asides from period loss. I get my period as long as I am over 98lbs. Do you think I am healthy??? I was wierded out by the fact that my bdy fat % is so low, I'm small boned + all but I do not look like a refugee at all. Advice would help anyone who knows anythng about what body fat means and what it does to your general health...........THANKS!!

Concerned about possible high Body Fat percentage? Hiya everyone, I just have a little question about body fat etc. I've not had a chance to have my body fat calculated but from a hunch I would generalize that i'm not in a fantastic position regarding it. I've just turned 20, Male, I'm 5'10" and only 9.5 stone (133 pounds). However I feel quite flabby around the waist which doesn't seem like such a huge problem when i'm standing up, my navel just seems to be pretty average, not flat, but not fat either. However when I sit down, It's like i'm just as overweight as somebody almost obese. Hope i've made my dilemma as clear as possible and what would you suggest? People always comment me as being thin but from what I read, you can look slim to people but have a high body fat percentage. If I loose body fat won't that affect my overall weight? Which is already on the underweight scale for somebody of my height.

What do you think about the scale that not only weighs you but checks your fat ratio.? There are supposed to be sensors where you place your feet & it can tell your fat ratio "using a harmless electronic current ." I says it "measures body fat for a more complete picture of your total health" & "Measures weight, changes in weight and calculates body fat percentage" Has anyone used this? Does it work? I'm considering getting it because I am doing a lot of weight lifting as well as starting a diet after the holidays. So I will be gaining muscle as I lose fat. I want a scale that will tell me if that 5 pound weight loss means I lost 10lb fat & gained 5 lb muscle OR just lost 5 lb fat.

How long would it take to lose 5% body fat? I'm currently 17/5'8/129lbs/and my body fat % is 15%.How long would it take to get it down to 10%( or basically the six-pack range) if I were to: Weight train for 30 mintutes.(7 days a week) Cardio activity for 30 minutes.(7 days a week) My schedule will allow me to workout a little bit more on the weekends.I've calculated that I need 2300 calories a day to maintain my weight but since i'm trying to lose fat here i'm creating a calorific deficit of 400 calories.Plus an additional 300-400 calories I burn off from cardio.That's ~800 calories lost a day.Obviously i'll need to weight train a lot cause I already have little muscle just fat in and around my abdominal area.In terms of dieting...pretty much it'll be 3 meals a day with my lean meats and poultry/veggies/fruits.I guess i'll need to intake a lot of food on account of i'm losing 800 calories a day. So about how long do you think I can get to my goal?Anything you advice or recommend on? Are there specific weight training activities you recommend me doing?I know I need to incorporate a full body workout cause I can't target specific fat.
