UNDERSTANDING THE READOUT INFORMATION
1. BMI (BODY MASS INDEX)
Body Mass Index is a height/weight formula used by health and weight professionals around the world to
assess a person's body weight. From your body mass index number you can see if you are underweight,
normal weight, overweight or obese.
BMI conclusions vary slightly according to gender.
Here is a general summary of weight-status
based on BMI.
2. BODY FAT %
Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body contains. If you are 150 pounds and
10% fat, it means that your body consists of 15 pounds fat and 135 pounds lean body mass (bone, muscle,
organ tissue, blood and everything else).
A certain amount of fat is essential to bodily functions. Fat regulates body temperature, cushions and
insulates organs and tissues and is the main form of the body's energy storage. The table describes body
fat ranges and their associated categories.
