you

know you had a BMI? Body mass index is a

underweight or normal.

 Is a physical test that measures the proportion of
level of fat in the body.
 Usually, a body fat meter is a tool used to
measure the percentage of a person’s body that
is made up of fat.
 A body fat meter can give an indication as to
whether the person is leading an all-around
healthy lifestyle or if changes in diet or exercise
are recommended.
 Body fat meters are also useful for tracking a
person’s progress when he or she is on a diet or
exercise regimen. Testing body fat percentage
regularly can keep the person on track for that
target weight.
 Most meters are small and portable, so they can
be used easily at home or taken just as
conveniently to a gym. They are easy to use and
provide a reading in seconds. Most meters
provide readings to the tenth of a percentage.
 The first time a body fat meter is used, the
person should put in information such as age,
sex, height and weight. This information is then
stored in the meter and referenced when the
percentage is calculated. The reading is typically
displayed in LCD format, and some meters
provide a picture of how the percentage
of body fat relates to the person’s size and
figure.
 Normal body fat measurements are generally

considered to be 18-30% for women and 15-


25% for men.
