Dona....using your values, above, I calculate your % body fat as follows:
..........Inches..Constant# (see Conversion page)
Hips:.....44.........53.03
Waist:...38.........27.02
Heigth:..65.5......39.77
Formula: Constant(Hips)+Constant(Waist)-Constant Heigth=%BF
53.02+27.02-39.77= 40.28%BF
I would go with the Tanita scale reading!
Also, the Drs. Eades provided a simple table to determine minimum daily protein requirements in their second book, "Protein Power LifePlan". Your height and weight requires at least 102gm of protein daily which is ideally divided equally into the number of meals you consume each day. If you are a 3 meal-a-day person this means at least 34gm of protein per meal. Hope this helps.
