I have measured my stats today and used the 3 calculators on the Fat 2 Fit site and came up with three quite different answers. Which one is right.

Most of my weight is around my middle. My legs and arms have never really put much weight on. I have quite muscly legs from a lot of walking and doing leg presses at gym a few years ago.

The percentages are. Original Calculator Body Fat % is 28.5%
Military Body Fat Calculator 52.7% :( WTF
Covert Bailey Body Fat 34.8

I am hoping some where between the first and last is about right about 32.5% fingers crossed.

Scary now My stats

Height 5ft 6

Weight 215.8lb (Goal weight 154lb)


Wrist 7.25"

Waist (at naval). 44"

Neck 16"

Hip (at widest Point). 50"

Forearm (at fullest point). 10"

Thigh (at widest point). 26

Calf (at widest point). 17

    All of those measure are pure guesses.

    You need to use calipers and pinch the fat.

    I think where you are at the moment you should just look at your weight.

    I would also like to know the answer to this question as I did exactly the same thing today and got three completely different answers!

    Military was far closer for me. I think it was off by about 5%, the other lower ones, by 15%. I had it tested with Bod Pod.
