You Shouldn’t Care About Your Bodyfat Percentage

Body composition is a popular metric for measuring overall fitness and physique, but it has significant drawbacks to its use. There are no publicly available and reliable methods for measuring body composition, which means that the metric itself is less useful (and often more discouraging) than it should be. While it may “seem” less scientific or data-focused, in reality, ditching or de-emphasizing body composition in favor of other methods can generally produce better results.
