A Well-Designed Body Fat Calculator
There are many websites on the Internet that include a body fat calculator. This one takes that information and helps you understand how you can design a balanced diet. Our body fat calculator tells you not only your percentage of body fat, but also your lean body mass. Then, using this information as well as an estimation of your daily activity level, we show you how much protein your body needs every day. We also recommend how many carbs and fats you should eat to provide your cells the optimum balance of macronutrients they need.
Using AAGW's Macronutrient Calculator
More than just a body fat calculator, Anti Aging God's Way gives you a Macronutrient Calculator. Here's how to use this helpful toolSelect Male or Female; Centimeters or Inches; Kilos or Pounds Measurements Using a cloth tape measure, determine the circumference of your waist, neck, and hips, applying a gentle pressure, without compressing the tissue. Height - Standing erect, with no shoes, measure your height. Neck - Measure just below the larynx ("adam's apple"), sloping slightly downward at the front. Waist - For men, measure at the navel; for women, measure at the smallest point. Hips - Women only, measure at the largest point. Activity Level Determine your activity level from the following descriptions. If you have an exercise regimen, you can easily select where you fit. If you do not regularly exercise, and do not believe yourself to be inactive, a pedometer can help you discover how many steps per day you are walking.
