Hi,
I am 26. My weight is 193.4 lbs and my height is 5 feet 7 inches. I have checked my body fat with Fat Loss Monitor that I bought today. But I have found out something wrong in my data.
My body Fat is 18.7% and my BMI is 30.3. According to thier table, I do not fit any of area. If one person have high BMI, then s/he should high body Fat, according to thier data. I think I am kind of muscular. People said I am looked like 180lbs or less, while my actual weight is between 190~200lbs. Is this because I am kind of muscular. However, is this but is this data possible? (BMI: 30.3 and Body Fat 18.7%) Is this normal?
I smoke cigaret, about halfpack a day. Could it possibly means that I have cancer or something?
Reason I want to lose my weight is because I like basketball. I want to loss weight to 150 or less to be able to dunk. I have been work out for long time but my weight did not decreased. My stamina has been increased, but my strength did not increased, greatly.

Muscle weighs more than fat, and it is very possible to have the data you have. I know many guys who are listed as 'obese' in the BMI charts, but have about 5% body fat. Just because you aren't on their chart doesn't mean it's false data. You weigh more than the average, and your body fat percent is average, so the muscle must be driving your weight up.

Keep this meal between 400 and 600 calories. Serve yourself a small portion, so if you like returning to college for seconds, you'll just turn out eating a normal-size portion.

there is nothing wrong with you.
BMI is irrelevant number and i dont understand why people still look at it- it doesnt tell you how much muscle or body fat you have- all it shows is height and weight ratio...
Body fat percentage is what really matters and as long as you are under 20-22% (for men) you are not overweight.

Keep this particular meal between 400 and six hundred calories. Serve yourself a scaled-down portion, so if you like returning for seconds, you'll just wind up eating a normal-size portion.

I highly doubt your body fat % is 19% if you're 200lbs @ 5'7". I think your fat loss monitor needs to be re-calibrated!
But, it IS possible... I guess... if you have an incredible bone structure...
No, it's not cancer. If you had 20lbs of cancer growing in you'd you'd certainly know it.
To increase strength in a workout, you have to challenge your muscles. Do tiny amounts of extraordinarly hard work. Lift weights 20lbs heavier than you would normally, at half the amount of reps.

Nosh on baked carrot chips as opposed to greasy potato chips.

Add veggies to baked items. You'll never even taste the particular zucchini in these brownies or perhaps the sweet potato in most of these cookies.

One's body is definitely burning some calorie consumption, and exercising making you melt away them more rapidly
