Body fat are you sure that is it incorrect? I Think that a lot of you write wrong information!
I'm italian and I write in metric system
I'm tall 176 cm my weight is 73 kg
Chinese scale say i have 18%
Garmin say i'm 22.5%
I red you are saying that is too much!
first:
do you think that weight without fat is
73-73x0.225=56,6
or 73/1.225=59.6 (maybe is that is correct
But I searched for olympic runners of marathon my height:
They are 60 kg with 5% of fat
You cannot live without 5% of essential fat (primary) or higher
Deposit fat is almost 10% better 12%
SuperAtlets is 2%-6%
Total for an healthy sportman is 15%
so for me 176cm without fat is
59.6 kg
Minimal to live is 6% = 62.6
To be healthy sportman 12% = 65 kg
Normal atletic 15$ = 69 kg
So I have to loose 6kg of useless fat
(my max was 103kg and started to run from 9min for km and now 4.45 for km)
So I think that GARMIN is correct
CHINESE scales not calculate essential fat
And most of you want only a a scale that lie
Like most of you a changed initialy the fat % on the site connect to use the chinese scale fat %
But after all calculation now I am using the garmin scale and arrive to a real 16% withount cheating
