Hi All
I have just calculated my visceral fat by using my waist measurement, my thigh measurement, weight and height, and age, according to this link I am lean ! (dont look it but it made me smile)
www.fitnescity.com
I used this calculator to work it out

My composition scales say my visceral fat was excessive and is now acceptable, but I am trying to learn more about ways to reduce it. I wanted to use my actual body measurements to see if it matched the scales and I guess in a way it did. On my scales it says 10 (was 16) using the calculator it is 21 but then that is measure on a different scale.
