Vital Statistics

While I was at the gym today, they were doing body composition analysis. So I had one done. Keep in mind that this was a bio-impedance machine, so there are caveats built in.

Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 154.0 lbs.
BMI: 20.9
Fat %: 12
Hydration %: 64

The fat percentage seems significantly different from the past analyses you've had. What about BMI?

One of the problems with bio-impedience is that it is based on the concentration of water in the body. Fat has less concentration of water than lean muscle. So if you do the test when you are slightly dehydrated (as I was since I did it after my workoiut), the fat percentage will higher than expected.

What's the question about BMI?
