    With 13-15% body fat, why are you trying to lose? Are you a professional body builder or something?

    By the way - you should not try to lose every ounce of fat. Like everything else, the body needs some to work right.

    Explained in the bottom half of this page.

    According to this,

    a healthy range for men up thru age 39 is 8 to 16 percent.

    I'm curious to learn how calories + exercise compared to the gizmos. I just realized you don't even have to put in the menu - punching in the exercise you did should give you the total calories to reach your goal.

    OP...
    Inches are a pain in the *kitten*. I am used to cm growing up in Sweden. It makes much more sense and easier to learn.
    5.64 is not the same as 5 feet 64 Inches. It just means 5.64 feet. You have to convert the inches to feet too.
    But be happy you are taller than 5'6".

    A pain for you. For those of us that grew up in the US inches are simple.

    You wanna be British ...we get the joy of feet, inches for height, metres, centimetres and miles on the roads and in our cars

    Oh and kilos in the gym as well as stones and pounds on the weighing scales and grammes and kg in food

    lol...

    the whole world should just go metric.

    Please link a converter that says 172 cm is 5 feet and 64 inches!

    172 cm = 67.7165 Inches to be exact. lol
    67 inches = 171.999 cm

    Yes. The converters say it's 5,64, which is very different than 5'6''. Unfortunately, I only realized that now after all those years lol.
    Just disappointed this topic is now an argument of metric vs imperial systems lol.

    Same reason everyone with my bf% wants to loose fat:
    I want to be able to see my abs the very least. Optimum goal is to get ripped.

    Day 3 of cutting cycle. Feeling good so far!
