You do realise that 20% an ideal percentage for a woman to be, it’s very fit and lean. That’s what I’m aiming to be.

However, perhaps you want more muscle definition in which case you need to start doing strength training 3 times a week and eating more protein, around 110g per day.

At the moment you have 48.5kg of lean mass and 12kg of fat. So you don’t have a lot of body fat and you have a decent amount of lean mass. I guess it’s just a case of increasing the lean mass by 1-2kg and reducing the body fat by 1-2kg.

For example if you got the lean mass up to 50kg and the body fat down to 11kg, you would still weigh about the same, but would have reduced your body fat percentage to 18%.

I wouldn’t go any lower than 15% body fat or you can face various health problems.

The key is: Diet Diet Diet, then exercise:

You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! Also add more fiber. The fiber and protein will fill you up, helping you to cut down on your unhealthy eating. Also by eating more than 3 meals spread out through the day you will kick your metabolism in high gear. Here is a general meal for a day:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs
whole wheat toast
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Cottage Cheese with veggie

Lunch: Turkey, lettuce, tomato, whole wheat bread sandwich
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Turkey Burger ( no bun )
Side of brown rice
Side of Broc.

Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. Do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. Do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn. Cardio can be a sport: basketball, soccer, football, anything with losts of movement. Golf is a no no.

So Example :

Monday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Tuesday – 1 hour lifting
Wednesday – Rest
Thrusday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Friday – 1 hour lifting
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

its just so easy.. just minimize your food intake esp. those fatty foods and always eat fiber enriched foods and always drink plenty of water,and if you want you can try the “AFTER 6″ process wherein you will not at food after 6pm and onwards except for water….hope this help…..

If you continue to train well, and consume adequate protein and complex carbs for muscles growth, as you gain weight, this will mostly be lean muscle mass. For each kg of muscle you gain, your body fat (as a percentage of your total weight) will fall. In this way, you will continue to perform well with your running, avoid injury and hopefully better your PB.

It is important to maintain a healthy body fat percentage. don’t forget that these machines measure visceral fat too (the stuff inside around your organs)) which in females is HUGELY important in hormone regulation – eg periods. Without these, your bones will begin to lose density, increasing your risk of osteopaenia and osteoporosis in later life.

Judging by your weight and height I’d say you look perfect (I am only an inch shorter than you but weigh the same). Believe me when I say you don’t need to lose any weight at all. Just start doing some weights to tone up and you’ll look super sexy just like me

They are NOT as accurate as calipers. I find the readings vary all over the map, even at the same weight.

Unfortunately, body fat scales are not as accurate as calipers. With a scale, a low-level electrical current is passed through your body and the “impedance”, or opposition to the flow of current, is measured. The result is used in conjunction with your weight and other factors to determine your body fat percentage. Unfortunately, your body’s “impedance level” can be altered by many factors besides body fat. For instance, the amount of water in your body, your skin temperature and recent physical activity can all adversely affect the results.So only by following strict rules can you hope to get an accurate measurement of your body fat using these scales.

Calipers are much more precise, but if you want the best measurement, hydrostatic weighing is the most accurate. The problem is finding a hydrostatic weighing tank.

there is nothing wrong with you.
BMI is irrelevant number and i dont understand why people still look at it- it doesnt tell you how much muscle or body fat you have- all it shows is height and weight ratio…
Body fat percentage is what really matters and as long as you are under 20-22% (for men) you are not overweight.
