You would need an assistant and skinfold callipers. Your assistant would measure the skin on your triceps, biceps and some other parts of the body. She would then take down our height, age and weight and calculate it all together to get your body fat percentage.
The closest way to measure your body fat weight is to first analyze your body fat percentage. You can do this with a machine called the body fat analyzer. You will then get an idea of how your body is composed.
The average percent of body fat on women is between 10 and 13 percent.
A simple banded tape measure is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to measure body fat percentage. Take several measurements for accuracy, then average them out for your total percent.
12-8 percent body fat
The average percentage of body fat for women is 21 to 31 percent. The average for men is 18 to 24 percent. The body fat can change depending on if you are athletic or not.
In women a healthy body fat percentage ranges from 21 percent to 33 percent. In men, a healthy percentage is between 8 percent and 25 percent.
Fat supplies 60 percent of the body's energy
Scale can measure body fat accurately by using bioelectrical impedance analysis, which sends a low-level electrical current through the body to measure the resistance of body tissues. This information is then used to calculate body fat percentage.
Percent means 'out of one hundred' so to say that someone's body is 20% fat means that for every 100kg, 20kg will be fat. If the person weighs 50kg, 10kg of that is fat. If you know what percent body fat you are, and how much you weigh, then your mass of fat is 'percent fat divided by 100 then multiply by your mass in kg.'
You probably don't have 8 percent body fat. Usually people begin to see their abdominal muscles around 10 percent. Go back and measure your body fat with a reliable measuring tool. The biometric tools are not very reliable so I'd recommend skin calipers.
