Hi

My scales measure my visceral fat as 8, does anyone know what a good measurement is?

Thanks!

Hi Chrissie
Home scales are notoriously unreliable. I think perhaps concentrate on the measurement of your waist, it should be half your height.
Does your body fat fall within the ideal range- your scales will have a faqs.

Thanks Maggie

I’m 5 foot 6 inches and waist is 37, so I guess it should be 33?

Hi Chrissie, and welcome! Yes, the accepted wisdom is that waist measurement should be half your height
or less. Best of luck on your journey 🙂
