Uses of Body Fat Calculator

We don't often realize the significance of knowing our body fat percentage. It is a very common stereotypical misconception that body fat calculators and other body related stuff is relevant only for bodybuilders and athletes.

Scientists say that depending on the age, gender and bodily dimensions a certain amount of body fat is necessary for any person to be called healthy. Neither above nor below this range is considered good.

There is a difference even between the fat levels which are considered healthy for women and for men. Health experts argue that women require a higher percentage of body fat for safe pregnancy.
