in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I was just wondering what the most accurate way to estimate body fat percentage is without using the callipers.I have tried a few different calculators on a few different websites and gotten completely different results from as low as 8% bf to as high as 30% bf just wondering what everyone has found to be the most accurate thanks

    honestly calculators can't really do this job as each body is different and stores fat differently. You might find one that is consistent for you but thats only because it's built with a similar body shape to yours in mind.

    We have had consistent results with an Omron; we also double check the results with calipers - again its been consistent on results.

    Look up places that have a Bodpod.. they accurately check your bodyfat percentage and the one I go to costs about $25.
