Body composition - ironmanlive

"Each body composition method has its own set of “pros and cons”. Regardless of the method used, the percent body fat number you see is not an absolute. It is an estimate and there is room for error. It is for this reason body composition should be viewed as a “range” instead of just a number. Also, be consistent in how you monitor your body composition values. You cannot truly compare the results from skin fold measures with those that taken from a BIA scale. It’s like comparing granny smith apples to red delicious apples…they are the same but still very different.
