I want a calculator to find my body fat percentage because I can't afford to have it done professionally. I just want insight from people who have had their body fat percentage actually measured and see if this is close to what you got and about how off it was. For safety it gave me 18.3 percent body fat but I rounded up 3 percent because it said it's off by about 1-3%, which leaves me at 21.3 percent body fat.
Any help with this is appreciated! I know there's no way I'm 18.3 percent body fat.

Mmm. Not sure. I would suggest, as with all those calculators and even some calorie calculators, take it with a grain of salt If you're looking to reduce BF, I figure you can also go by changes you see in the mirror (not necessarily the scale).0
