My digital scale that reads body fat: 27%
Fat2Fit's calculator: 27%
Covert-Baily: 27%
Military: 36.7%.

Uh...one of these things is not like the other.... :)

I should have my gym measure mine on their electronic thingy one of these days for a fifth opinion! I'm gonna guess the 27% is accurate and the Military is just a fluke...anyone else see wild fluctuations in estimates?

    I find the military calculations don't seem to work for a lot of women. I was trying to use that for my wife and it really gave an off the wall number compared to other methods.

    I did The military one earlier, and just did The covert Bailey since you mentioned it:

    military = 45.1%
    CB = 25%

    I haven't had a chance to be measured, but I'd guess I'm somewhere between the two.
