Why is Body Fat Important?

Body fat percentage measures how much of your body weight is made up of fat. Unlike BMI, it gives a clearer picture of your body composition by considering fat, muscle, bones, and water.

Tracking your body fat percentage helps you monitor your health and fitness, assess risks like heart disease or diabetes, and make better decisions about your diet and exercise.
