Body Fat Calculators: Voodoo science
I have seen people on here concerned with their % body fat. I think that is a fantastic metric to use with weight loss plans. It accomplishes two things. First, it tracks those fat lbs as they come off. Second, it allows a person to set a realistic end weight goal, based upon their desired body fat percentage. However, do…
