Fats
Body fat is a group of lumps that are stored in some areas of the body as a result of eating in large quantities more than the body needs it, and it is present in a number of types of foods such as meat, chicken, oils, butter, milk, cheese, sweets and cream, but the proportions of fats in foods and foods are multiple and unequal, as The proportion of fat in large quantities is more meat than other foods, as all doctors advise to reduce its intake due to the severity of its risk to diabetics in particular, and those suffering from blood clots.
Obesity risks
It is known that those who suffer from obesity are the most vulnerable to serious diseases such as heart disease, atherosclerosis, strokes of all kinds, and many more and many other dangerous diseases, so we have to know the amounts and percentages of fats that we eat and enter our bodies to ensure our health and fitness for our body, it is necessary to take it for the needs of our body To the energy contained in it, but in moderation, so that the digestive system, which is responsible for digesting food, can digest it with the presence of enzymes that help break down fats into parts, and ease of transporting it through the blood, and fat and muscle cells absorb these parts and store or burn them.
How do I know the percentage of fat in the body
To find out the percentage of body fat, it is an easy way that you can do at home, by following the instructions that we will mention later, which, as mentioned earlier, differs from men to women.
Calculating the percentage of fat in women
Calculate the body weight, and we multiply the weight by the body formula for women, which is (732.0) and add it with the value (986.8), which is as follows:
- (Body Weight x 732.0) +986.8
- The waist circumference measured x 157.1570.0
- Buttock Measurement x 249
- We add up the three results we got and put them together and then we get the percentage of muscle body mass and we subtract
- (Total body weight - body muscle mass = body fat percentage)
Calculating the percentage of fat in men
- (Total body weight x 082.1) +42.94
- (Measure the waist circumference x 15.4)
- We subtract the results we obtained, and the result is muscle mass
- Subtract (total body weight - body muscle mass) = body fat weight.
- (Body fat weight x 100) Divide it by total body weight, and the result is body fat percentage.
It should be noted that when organizing our food to eat amounts of fat, we can eat 30% of calories per day, and that the amount does not exceed that, bearing in mind that each gram of fat equals 9 calories, and the percentage of fat from the man’s body and the woman’s body also differs. A man, by nature, needs more than a woman’s body. A man needs about 90 grams of fat per day, and a woman’s body needs about 60 grams per day.
