A great site to check your body fat.

Rokoska_wechanged

I had a dexa scan about 2 months ago and was at 43% bf... This website told me 23.3%.... No way.

Victoria2448

Not even close to accurate...

time2bhealthy

I got 22.5% body fat which equals 29.5 lbs of fat and 101.5 lbs of muscle. I hope it is accurate!

i used this one and the live strong and mine were very similar . live strong was 27.94 and this site was 27. last time i used one of the scale i was 28.something and i was a bit heavier too... so all very accurate for me!

what does one think a good body fat % is for me being that i am 5 ft 2 inches and a med build?

Mine said:

You have 18.1% body fat.

You have 29 Pounds of fat and 131 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

Livestrong has me at 19.01%

Scientific Psychic has me at 18.8%

^^^ I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I am closer to 22% (down from an all time high of 56%... SWEET!)

I think this is because I have a ridiculously tiny waist (I'm 5'10" and weigh 160 pounds, but my waist is only 26.25") so it skews the numbers.

Honestly, it seems that guessing based on pictures is more accurate than any of those tape measurement sites.

Thanks for sharing. Now we have at least 3 sources from this Post.

thankyou4thevenom

It;s completely inaccurate for me.

My scales give me 41%, LiveStrong gives me 39%, Scientific Psychic gives me 39% and your link?

31%. Yeah no.

tracimichelle213

bump. thanks!

joannea1988

if thats right im not obese anymore im overweight whoop whoop

hazleyes81

Seems pretty accurate. It gave me 20.5% and my caliper measurements tell me 20.04%

The scales are horrible. I have one and I just use it as a regular scale now. The bf % it gives will fluctuate too much just from minute to minute, based on hydration, etc.

i did all 3 of those and mine were all very very similar. 27 - 27.94 % bf%

Is it weird that it doesn't ask for your height? I would think that would be a big variable.

deadgirl81

Hm - mine was:

Your Results


You have 25.4% body fat.

You have 47.2 Pounds of fat and 138.8 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

Which I don't know is good or bad, first time I've ever done anything like that site

Personally, I think I'm more the 35% picture, maybe even 40%

jmaffett

Well, it's closer than some I've seen. It says I have 27.5% BF and unlike some of the online tests, it at least recognizes that I have a large frame.

Edit to add ... Livestrong says 37.6%. No IDEA why such a huge difference & which is correct, but I'd guess it is somewhere in between the two, but closer to Livestrong's.

yes that should be considered!

Silverkittycat

I'm not at 14% body fat.:laugh:
That first link is way off on mine.

Same percentage doesn't always look the same in a mirror, though. I'll stick with my mirror.

Newf77

You have 10.4% body fat.

You have ### Pounds of fat and #### Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

2 out of 3 came up with 29 for me.

surfrgrl1

That's telling me I have 29% body fat. Everything else has me in the high 30s. I don't believe it.

I have a scale that provides a bf reading, and per the readings it provides, I vary between 37% to 39%. This website showed I was 29%, and I am sure that is not accurate. I had 29% BF when I weighed about 30 pounds less than I do now, and I was much younger too.

carriecarrot

Livestrong and Healthcentral are both wrong for me.

Healthcentral thinks I am at 25% body fat and Livestrong thinks im at 47%!

I know that there is no way that I am either. The plain ol BMI chart which is 37% is probably more accurate for me.

strawberrie_milk

19.4% :DD

Livestrong has me at 20.49%, so it seems close enough for me :c

970Mikaela1

scientificphysco says 19.8
health centrals says 16.8
live strong says 19.8
Soooooo....... go with the highest thanks for the links~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beastette

As usual, websites and tape measures fail when trying to measure BF%.

Get a Bod-Pod done if you want to know the truth.

^Yup^

spectralmoon

Bump to check when I get home!

kmjoctober
