    Maybe investing in a good BF scale. They aren't as accurate as we would like, but if you do it at the same time under the same conditions (first thing in the morning) and also note your hydration levels so you can get idea of how hydration affects the number (High hydration lower bf, dehydrate...high bf).

    Really? I'm using this site. And you are saying that they are asking for, but not using all those measurements?

    Exactly, go look at the book at a library too, if you don't believe me.

    This site too, leave out the stats I said don't matter, if female you'll still get a result, that doesn't change when you change those other stats not used in the calc.

    Regarding that fat2fit site, have you ever changed the bodyfat % in the BMR tool that gives you your TDEE levels?

    Try it - notice what happens to the TDEE levels.

    That's why I have no qualms in saying the spreadsheet is better.
