BMI (Body Mass Index) uses your height and weight values to determine whether you are at risk for weight-related health problems. Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body contains. If you are 150 pounds and 10% fat, it means that your body consists of 15 pounds fat and 135 pounds lean body mass (bone, muscle, organ tissue, blood and everything else).
