So what is the difference between BMI (Body Mass Index) and body fat percentage? When trying to shape up for their wedding day, many brides and grooms concentrate mainly on the scale. This may not be the most accurate way of measuring the results of their efforts.

BMI is a measure of your shape based on your weight and height. The formula is weight in Kgs/ height in meters2. (kg/m2).

Body Fat percentage is the weight of body fat on your body divided by your total body weight. That gives you what percent of your body is fat. Body fat percentage is a more accurate module for health. Excess body fat leads to many diseases such as: Heart disease, Obesity, Diabetes, Cancers, High Blood pressure and more.

It is possible to have a healthy BMI yet a poor body fat percentage. That would be a thin person with excess body fat. This is not good or healthy. It is also possible to have a high BMI and a low body fat percentage. This would be a very muscular individual. Which would be more ideal.

The best way to know if you have a healthy weight is taking the bio-impedence test. This body fat test informs you about your basal metabolism, fat mass, muscles mass and body water.
