Body Fat Percentage

[pegkerr]

If weight loss is one of your New Year's Resolutions, you might be interested in learning your body fat percentage with this quick and easy questionnaire.

My weight is definitely up, and mine turned out to be 27.8%. I'll work on that. Average American woman is 32%; they recommend 22% for a Caucasian woman.

Ah, well, I heard the healthy range was between 21% and 32%. Also, um, I've seen myself, and at a body fat percentage of 22, I would be unhealthy. So I wouldn't believe their 'recommendation' too strongly.

I simply find it perturbing to be asked to poke, prod and measure myself like a piece of meat. I started on the website, got to the part where I was supposed to give calf and thigh circumferences, and started feeling WAY too much like a farm animal for my liking.

I can't imagine that would be healthy, no matter what numbers a person ended up getting.
