How do I have a body fat percentage of 34% when I'm 95lbs?!
Question: How do I have a body fat percentage of 34% when I'm 95lbs!?
I just used an online body fat percentage calculator and it told me that I have a body fat percentage of 34% which is considered 'obses'!. My problem with that is that I am 5'3 and I weigh 95lbs, which I'm pretty sure is NOT overweight!. When I measured my waist it said it was 30" but I wear size 24 (size 0) pants so maybe I measured wrong!? Someone please help me, I'm a recovering anorexic and this is really messing with my head!. Thank you! Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all NEVER use online body fat calculators to even attempt to estimate your body fat percentage!. They are in no way accurate whatsoever!.
You are a recovering anorexic and all this measuring and calculating body fat is not helping in your recovery!. If you are a size 0 and 95lb you are obviously very thin and even if your body fat percentage was on the high side, it is a PERCENTAGE not your actual pounds of fat that is high!. This will very likely be due to muscle wasting caused by your anorexia!.
Now please step away from the computer!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hii
I would be careful with an online one!.!. I have had a proper body fat % test and it was nothing like the online results :)
It is also possible that you dont have too much muscle!.!. eg a bodybuilder would weigh heaps, but his body fat % could be 6% its all to do with muscle, dont panic but if you want to change the result i would reccomend doing like pilates and weight training!.!.!. it will make you more toned and reduce the %
but seriously, it is not something to stress over!!!!
Hope your recovery is still going well :)

umm listen just calm down!. height to weight charts are very inaccurate!. (yes i was forced to learn that in P!.E!.) These charts are not personalized meaning your body type could be just different!. i recommend you go to your doctors and have him/her decide if you are the right weight!. (to top it off it was online i mean come on you actually trust that)Www@Answer-Health@Com
