A loss of 2.4kg - this is 0.4 above my target. That's good going but....






...for some reason my bodyfat has risen by about 50% ....why?



Bodyfat is important - to reduce!

"The ideal weight and fat-lean ratio varies considerably for men and women and by age, but the minimum percent of body fat considered safe for good health is 5 percent for males and 12% for females. The average adult body fat is closer to 15 to 18% for men and 22 to 25% for women.

Athletes tend to be at low end of this scale due to their increased lean weight (muscle mass). While low levels of body fat seem to be related to improved performance, body composition alone is not a great predictor of sports success. A linebacker needs to have enough body mass (lean and fat weight) to generate high forces and avoid injury. Body fat among elite athletes vary largely by sport. There is little evidence of any benefit when men drop under 8% and women drop under 14 percent body fat."

Obviously the measurement is wrong as it says I have about 5kilos of EXTRA bodyfat - and yet there's a loss of weight...

Oh well - here's to next week!
