Most people track "weight" as a single number on a scale, but for the serious athlete or bodybuilder, weight is a misleading aggregate of water, muscle, bone, and fat. Losing 5 pounds of water is dehydration; losing 5 pounds of fat is progress. Without distinguishing between the two, you are flying blind.

The Philosophy of Composition

The "Body Fat Tracking Chart" is designed for the fitness enthusiast who understands that true health is about ratio, not mass. It moves your tracking from a simple "weigh-in" to a comprehensive "body audit." By standardizing the capture of A Weight and B Percent Fat, the system allows you to calculate your D Lean Body Mass—the only metric that truly matters for metabolic health and athletic performance.

The Blueprint: Automated Goal Math

The structure of this library is built around a powerful calculation engine that translates your current state into a clear roadmap.

  • The Reality Check: The C Fat calculation script ((#{a weight}*#{b percent fat})/100) instantly tells you exactly how many pounds of your total weight is adipose tissue. This number is often shocking and motivating.
  • The Target Lock: By entering your E Body Fat Percent Goal, the system automatically calculates your G Weight Goal based on your current lean mass. This eliminates the guesswork of "I want to lose 10 pounds" and replaces it with "I need to reach 185 pounds to achieve 12% body fat."
  • The Gap Analysis: The H Weight Loss Goal of Fat field shows you the exact distance between where you are and where you want to be, measured in pounds of fat to be burned.

Anthropometric Precision

Beyond the scale, the template includes a detailed measurement log. The Take Measurements boolean triggers a workflow to record the circumference of nine distinct zones—from Neck to Calve. This allows you to track non-scale victories. Even if your weight stays the same, a 2-inch drop in your Waist measurement proves that your body composition is shifting favorably.

Power Feature: Visual Progress Tracking

By utilizing Memento’s Pic field, you can document your physical transformation alongside your data. A photo taken in the same lighting every week provides the visual confirmation that supports the numbers. It transforms a spreadsheet of measurements into a compelling visual narrative of your hard work and discipline.
