Body Composition test
OK, so I had a body composition test done this morning, but not really sure what all the numbers mean. I have an appt in a few weeks, but curiosity is getting the better of me.
Simple stuff:
Weight: 212.1lbs
Lean body mass:170.6lbs
body fat mass:41.5 lbs
BMI-30.4
Percent Body Fat-19.6%
basal metabolic rate is 2041 kcal
Need to loose 11.5 lbs of body fat and increase muscle 0 lbs
(ok just kind of bragging on the above, never in my life have i ever been told my body was even close to normal! YEA ME!)
The Body Water Balance is what I don't understand.
Intracellular water: 74.5 lbs
Extracellular water 52.4 lbs
Total body water: 126.9 lbs
Body water ratio: .413 This number says according to the chart is high, but what does it really mean?
Thanks
ROY
