body fat question

  • can someone tell me how to add up body fat percentages? like i started at 28.3% and am now 21.9% so how do i add the .9 and the .3? i mean i know thats .12 but what does that equate to?
  • What are you trying to figure out? Why would you want to add these numbers? If you want to figure out how much body fat you've lost as a percent, subtract 21.9 from 28.3. Your body fat is now lower by 6.4%. What was the total number of pounds that you lost? That will tell you how much fat vs. lean mass you are losing.
