Using Food Diary Reduces Your Body Fat Percentage
Dear User,
The food diary has a body fat percentage meter under the analysis menu. It can calculate, approximately, how much percentage of fact your body is based on some simple measurements.
Body fat percentage is a percent of fat your body is composed off. Normal body fat percentage is 22% for female and 15% from male.
Too low of a body fat percentage is not healthy either.
To reduce your body fat percentage, you need to increase muscle mass via exercise and lose fat via a diet. It has been found with a study of 1700 participants that using a food diary will double your weight loss. So you might want to use a food diary in your diet and exercise.
Losing weight in an incorrect way, will also reduce your body muscle mass, which is bad. Losing weight the right way, will increase muscle mass. Increasing muscle mass, and reducing fat tissue, will considerably reduce your body fat percentage.
Body fat percentage is most accurately measured in a water tank. Where your entire body is immersed under water. This is done in a special facility. Less accuracy but less expensive way is to use the calculator of body fat percentage included with the food diary.
