| Hey peg... well lets see. I just went through all my stuff to find my last body analysis. There are different analysis. This is what it says... my stats (October 26, 2008):
(in kilograms)
Body composition analysis
Total body water: 39.2 liters ( supposedly there is water inside the muscle cells and some outside, so part of this water is muscle mass, see squeletal muscle mass below, this really got me confused)
Protein: 10.6 kg
Minerals: 3.65 kg
Body fat mass: 12.2 kg
- Fat free mass (lean body mass): 53.5 kg
- Total weight: 65.7 kg
Muscle-fat analysis:
Body weight: 65.7 kg
Squeletal muscle mass: 30 kg
Body fat mass: 12.2 kg
Obesity diagnosis:
Body mass index (kg/m2) 23.0
Body fat percentage: 18.6 (This is what is worrying me, this was a month ago and I´m fatter, stronger though)
Hip-waist relation: 0.85
So I guess I am pretty high on fat percentage, although I think it is possible to cut down the 25 lbs of fat and still maintain a pretty high level of muscle don’t you think? I mean that is what bodybuilders do right? And I’ve been working out pretty hard, and growing a lot lately. Im gonna go have myself checked again on January. (Im really gonna put the effort for Christmas time, cause I like to eat a lot around that date, lol) What do you suggest? I’ve also reduced so much my fat intake cause I realized how much fat I was gaining. Oh and by the way, I got these results from really serious nutrition specialist, she really adviced me to cut down the fat intake which I really didn’t do so I kind of regret it but that is why I’m asking for your opinion before I continue, do you still think I have a chance if I correct my eating habits by now?
