    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.

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

    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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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^

    You have 21.2% body fat.

    You have 55.1 Pounds of fat and 204.9 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

    this does seem kind of accurate.. but I don't have anything to compare it to
