body fat estimator

This application calculate your body fat percentage scientifically , and provide a fat loss plan that use intermittent fasting, along with fast walking.

Although fat loss is the goal that we want to achieve, a fat loss plan will never result in 100% loss from the fat tissue only, some of the total weight lost is also from muscle.

So a successful weight loss phase is one that will result in maximum loss of fat, and minimum loss of muscle.

Why it is important to lose the extra body fat ?

it's not just for aesthetic reasons, it is mainly for health benefits, as high body fat is associated with multiple problems that occur in the body.

knowing the body fat level alone is not enough, but pairing that information with the body mass index and the waist to hip ratio makes the result obtained more complete.

The app provides a test based on a conversion formula from BMI , and multiple topics ( calories count, more accurate measurement methods , comparison of body types ...) that are related to weight loss:

The test takes as input your Sex , Age , Weight and Height ; these values are used to calculate your BMI , which in turn is used to calculate your body fat percentage.

The user must also provide waist and hip circumference to provide values for the waist to hip ratio.

The result panel will show the three indicators calculated, as well as the limits and healthy ranges associated with each value according to the WHO.

From the test result panel , you can generate your weight loss plan;

After selecting the weight that you will aim to lose during this four week period ( from 5 kg /10 lbs up to 10 kg / 23 lbs ).

A message will appear after every selection to advise you if :

The weight loss goal is too much for your body type,

Or

It is a manageable goal .

The weight loss protocol proposed is based on two things : Time restricted eating , and long distance walking.

So you are basically feeding your body during a short eating window (typically 6 to 8 hours) , and burning fat stores to fuel the body for the rest of the day.

This weight loss plan expects the user to learn from his or her experience during this program and adjusts the fasting duration or the walking duration accordingly.

you can enter the progress made in the form of weight (lbs or kg) lost during each week, that will be converted to percentage dropped from your initial body fat level. At the end, you can compare your end result with what the app predicts, since weight loss is not just numbers, it's also your own experience with your body .
