I don't have calipers ( I need to get some) & I have gone to several websites to calculate & they all give me different percentages, how do you calculate your body fat %?

    if you use one website consistently, as in do it on a monday morning after waking up in the morning, and then do it the next monday morning, so on and so forth, it may not be accurate but it will be precise, meaning it will show whether or not you are increasing or decreasing bf%. It may not be your ACTUAL bf%, but it will be relative. Most gyms have a set of calipers and can calculate it for you, and i hear they are like $20 or something to just buy

    I use calipers, but I've plugged my measurements into various sites out of curiosity and this one is the closest I've found to matching my skinfold caliper results:
