Hello, I see the tracking sheet is asking for a body comp number? What exactly is it? I thought body fat however see numbers like "2" so expecting that's not it! Thanks.

You don't have to compare to others so just put in the # you get from your scale or you get from your caliper-calculation.
I use fat as % of body weight, other scales give you fat as kg or pounds or maybe as ratio of total weight / fat mass.

Body comp is simply weight divided by height. On the spreadsheet it is calculated for you if you input the data.

@ Darren - there is a link in the OS intro under data, it talks about tracking your progress. You can get there from the dashboard on OS...or link below.
