Question by Shana: How can i lose body fat percentage without losing weight?
I am 14 years old, 117 pounds, and at 31% body fat (according to an online calculator [navy formula]). I don’t feel very healthy at this level and I know that I can't take many calories without gaining weight. I try to consume 1200 calories a day and burn off 200 by running. I don’t think I’m getting enough vitamins apiece day but I’m afraid that if I take more I’ll acquire body fat. What can I do to increase muscle mass and decrease my body fat percentage?

Online calculators are not a very good indication of body fat. Visit a physician and ask him to measure it for you. He will do it far more accurately. Building muscle requires you to lift weights. Combining the cardio workout and lifting weights will grant you to acquire muscle mass and reduce fat. You can NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER acquire muscle mass and lose fat in a healthy way if your diet is not good. Think of it as a triangle in which one side is healthy eating, one side is lifting weights and the other side is cardio. If you break one side then the whole thing falls apart and you won’t get anywhere. Good luck.
