Kim Kardashian compares her body fat percentage to 'athlete' level after health scan

Kim Kardashian compared her body fat percentage to that of an “athlete” after sharing her full body scan with 300 million fans.

The mum-of-four, 41, filmed the moment a mobile health van visited her Hidden Hills multi-million dollar mansion to ‘make sure she was fit and healthy’.

“Look who pulled up,” she posted on Instagram, sharing a photo of the black and green van arriving. “They measure your bone density and fat percentage.”

“All the good stuff to make sure you are fit and healthy,” the TV personality added.

According to Kim, the full scan took around seven minutes – including the results process.

“Look how cool this van is,” she faintly says in a video showing what looks to be a bed in the back of the health scanner’s truck.

Revealing the results, a member of staff can be heard explaining what the graphs and tables mean to Kim who filmed the entire process.

“You hear that?”, she wrote alongside the video. “My bones are stronger than 93-97 per cent of people,” she added – showing off her ‘Bone Report’.

Turning to her body fat results, Kim boasted that the findings showed she was of “athlete category”.

“Ok guys so a year ago my body fat percentage was 25 per cent,” she said. “Now it is 18.8 per cent."

The staff member can be heard agreeing before quipping “so that would be considered athlete category”.

It was at that point Kim gloated “Athlete category, you hear that?”

Body fat percentage, different from Body Mass Index (BMI), determines fat from muscle and calculates the percentage of body fat in the body.

BMI is calculated based on a person's height and weight, and used by the healthcare system to sort people into four categories: underweight, healthy, overweight or obese.

The videos came after Kim shared a “painful” procedure with her 327 million Instagram followers.

She tried a new laser to “tighten” her stomach, a practise she said caused pain but was “worth it”.

Sharing a picture of her red stomach, she captioned the image: “This is a game changer. I did Morpheus laser to tighten my stomach.

“I think this is my fave laser but it’s painful lol but worth it.” (sic).

A recent change in her image has led some fans to say that she is visually morphing into her boyfriend Pete Davidson.

She was promoting her latest SKNN product, posting unfiltered pictures of herself, when fans suggested she was looking like Pete.

One fan wrote: "Literally thought that was Pete."

Other people praised Kim for sharing the makeup-free pictures, with one person writing: "You are so gorgeous without makeup!!"

Another fan said: "So much prettier without all the makeup," while others shared plenty of heart emojis.
