Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well in your weight loss journey And if not keep going persistence pays off.

I have been looking at motivational posters, quotes and pictures the last couple of days and I find some of the quotes just end up being annoying to me, they promote unhealthy lifestyle choises or they focus mainly on excerice and nothing on diet other than water before meals. This of course not all of them some are great and motivate me to do better.

I have found recently that the internet can't make up its mind you would think the same type of calculator I.e. Fat calculator would have the same measurements needed and if two calculators that have the same measurements would expect them to have the same answer but for some reason they don't it's frustrating For me I had three different calculators using the same measurements give me three different answers (27%, 37% and 42%) which is very frustrating. I wish they could be consistent to make it easier for everyone.
 
Do you mean the percentage of your food caliries that should come from fat? Or the percentage of your body weight that might be fat?
If you mean the first: we don't know everything about nutrition in enough detail to turn the advice into an exact science. Different people use different assumptions and make different models, thus producing different food plans.
If your question had to do with body composition... that's pretty much impossible to determine without direct measurements of your own body/physiology. Even official measurements like the caliper method or body composition scales are only really reliable as ways to see changes in your fat percentage over time, not to determine an absolute number. For that you'd need pretty high-tech testing.
If you still want to use online resources: try several, throw out any that seem weirdly far from the others and use an average from what's left.
The good news is that we mostly know what we need to do to keep healthy/lose weight: reduce the processed stuff, especially the refined carbs/sugar. Everything else is fine-tuning.
 
Not the fat from diet I know that should be around 20% of good fats not bad saturated fats. I got two measurements one from my body fat scales of 40.2 % this morning and one about July from naturopath at 43% with the body machine so by that it gone down a bit
Your right less fatty,sugary and salty processed foods more natural heathy whole foods much better for everyone
