So I am trying to work out my body fat? My digital scales at home say 16.8% and I used an online calculator based on height and measurements and it said 21% I am so confused by this? which is it and why are they different???

It's just ballpark figures based on formulas, best is to buy calipers or get measured at your local gym which is way more accurate0
