    I get a 47.5% BF using the US Navy Method calculator.

    The BMI is like... trying to fit any type of shoe into the same box, weather it's a knee high heel boot or a flip flop. It doesn't take into consideration your muscle mass either. When I was 230-240 my body fat was 31%, bmi was about 36.

    I'd try not to stress on it...again, we're all different shoes and no one system can be accurate for everyone.
