The numbers look bad, but I look fine.
Jul. 17th, 2014 11:18 amSo I got on the magic scales of measuring all the things again this morning...
Weight: 76kg (okay - according to the scales, this is in the centre of the 'okay' (not high, not low) range for my height (177cm), gender (male), and age (40))
Muscle: 37% (okay)
Body-fat: 22.5% (okay)
Visceral fat: 7 (okay)
BMI: 24 (high end of 'okay' range) (Eh? When weight, muscle and fat are all central?)
Body age: 43 (gee thanks)
BMR: 1680 kcal
So yeah, as per last post, by the numbers I'm not doing so well - very very close to being back at my 'starting point' from early 2011. I can certainly see that I'm a fair bit fattier than I was in 2012, but on the other hand I can also see (and feel) that I'm a lot more muscular than I was then, so ... meh.
I tried cutting out sugar for a month back in April, to try to lose some of that body-fat percentage, but I failed abysmally to stick at it for more than a day or two at a time. I guess I should wear my chocolate cake belly-fat with pride. :)
I am curious as to what relative/average figures for my height, gender, and age would be though, rather than absolute/okay. I think I'm doing pretty well.
I might get some photos later and add them in here...
