So I tried a bunch of them (US navy method) and got pretty consistent results, except this one site that gave 22 (the others game me 15.**), but I want to know how much I can trust this numbers

    I did the same, tried out a bunch of calculators with VERY different results. One of my friends here told me that maybe the complete accuracy wasn´t the most important, but that you used the same every time, to measure your succes (I use fat2fit radio calculator.) With that being said, a lot of scales can calculate the body fat %. Try to find one, if you can.
