Are any of the online ones accurate? I measured myself and entered the info into a few of them and the results seem WAY off.

This is one that I can't help you with. I have never used one. The different results probably depends on the way body fat is calculated. I am going to do some research on them.0

I had my body fat measured by a registered dietician. Those numbers were not close to the standard BMI calculators offered online.

There is no way that these can be accurate like the scales that measure fat and water % they pass a small current through the body and calculate resistance, just another way to part people from hard earned money!0
