[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found out my body fat. That seems pretty high. I'm a 47 year old woman. I work out regularly but my diet is not the best.[/quote] It does seem high for someone who works out regularly. What is your height & weight? Agree with PP, 12% is not good for a woman's body. [/quote] I am 5'6" and 164 pounds.[/quote] I still don't think the 35 is correct. Here is the chart from NIH, which is based on [i]averages[/i] for height & weight. Average BMI for your height and weight is 26.5%. So for you to have 35.5%, you'd have to seriously be lacking muscle/lean mass.
