The Protein Power calculations have got to be among the most confusing and convoluted formulas I've ever seen. When I did mine at the beginning of Feb it came out to 53% body fat. WHAT??? was my first reaction.

The calculations also told me my idea weight range is 120-136. I haven't weighed 125 since high school, and there's not much chance of 136 being a realistic number 40 years later.

At the end of the day I don't need or trust some mathematics to tell me I'm carrying around excess fat. I can see it when I look in the mirror. And down the road when a bunch of this is shed and I feel better looking in the mirror, that's all that matters.
