Understanding Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is a more accurate indicator of health than BMI alone. It measures the proportion of fat to total body weight and provides insight into body composition.
Why body fat percentage matters:
- Better health indicator than weight or BMI alone
- Helps track fitness progress more accurately
- Identifies health risks associated with high body fat
- Guides nutrition and exercise programs
- Differentiates between muscle gain and fat loss
