3 Ways to Measure Fat Percentage

While BMI is a simple measure of body weight, it can be inaccurate for people with a lot of muscle mass.

No method is perfect, so it is advisable to consider different indicators and professional assessments for a more complete picture of health.

If you have too much fat percentage, the Jake Light shakes are advisable to use. These contain fewer calories and help you limit your calorie intake.
