[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.[/quote] actually most women are lacking in muscle mass. Womentend to do lots of cardio and lift light weights. neither of which will have significant increases in muscle mass. Add that to age and it is very possible to be a healthy weight but have too much fat. [/quote]
