A side note on my BF%
You know… a 5% BF difference can really throw your readings off! I was just looking through my earlier posts and I had this posted:
TOTAL inches lost since 2/28/2007: 47.75 inches!!!
** Using Online Circumference BF% Calculator:
GRAND TOTAL Fat Lost: 35.11 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Lean Mass Gained: 14.11 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Weight Lost: 21 pounds
The online BF% Calculator had me between 29% BF.
When I did my measurements using the 7-site caliper method, it came out to 34.42%!!! Wow. BIG difference.
I know that the 7-site caliper method is more accurate so I will stick with this method from now on. The BIA test that I do at the gym is about .5% below this.
Anyhow… here are my updated progress stats:
TOTAL inches lost since 2/28/2007: 47.75 inches!!!
** Using 7-site caliper method:
GRAND TOTAL Fat Lost: 27.34 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Lean Mass Gained: 3.84 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Weight Lost: 23.5 pounds
========
Moral of this story… caliper test’s are more accurate than online BF% calculators!!!
Still very good progress.
