Body Fat
There was a fitness fair over the weekend at Sunway Pyramid and I got my body fat measured just for the heck of it. This is the reading according to the 'Body Composition Analyzer'.
So I took my measurements and ran it through a body fat calculator online.
Factors: Age, Weight, Gender, Hips, Calf, Thigh, Wrist.
The results: My body fat percentage is only at 20.3%.
EHHH??? That puts me near athletic. Hahaha! What a joke!
This other body fat calculator on another website told me otherwise.
Factors: Weight, Gender, Waist, Hips, Wrist, Forearm.
The results: My body fat percentage is at 32%.
Now according to the charts, that would put me in the obese category.
So how accurate these things are I dunno.
Maybe I should get a proper measurement done at the gym :P
Anyhow, the first reading says I need to lose 1.5kg to be my ideal weight. Sounds simple enough. But... there is a problem.
This is a scenario from breakfast yesterday morning.
D & I went to a mamak (Restoran Daun Pisang Melur Jaya, USJ 17) that makes roti canai fresh only when you order it. It's nice and flaky, unlike most places where rotis are pre-made and rubbery. We had 5 (or was it 6?) rotis and a tosai between us. The mamak dudes were quite amused.
We first shared 3 rotis and the tosai, but it was so good we had to order more. And while digging into our extra rotis....
BODY TYPE: StandardNo measurements were taken. All was measured by a weighing scale-like thing with metal plates for your feet. Makes me wonder how accurate it is.
GENDER: Female
AGE: 29
HEIGHT: 163 cm
WEIGHT: 60.1 kg
BMI: 22.6
BMR: 1319 kcal (calories I need per day)
IMPEDANCE: 436 omega (dunno what this means)
FAT: 24.9 %
FAT MASS: 15.0 kg
FFM: 45.1 kg (bone and muscle weight)
TBW: 33.0 kg (total body water)
IDEAL FAT %: 17 - 24 % (under 20% for athletes)
IDEAL FAT MASS: 9.2 - 14.2 kg
TARGET BODY FAT %: 23 %
TARGET WEIGHT: 58 kg
TARGET FAT LOSS: 1.5 kg

D: Yeah... it's been 15 minutes since our last one.
