    Mine says 20.3%. Not sure how accurate, but if I use the same tool to measure body fat in a couple of months it'd be nice to see it go down!

    You have 18.6% body fat.

    You have 25.3 Pounds of fat and 110.7 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

    I'm not sure if that would be accurate.. seems a bit low to me. I'm happy if thats true though :smile:

    You have 19.8% body fat.

    You have 24.6 Pounds of fat and 99.4 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).


    Checked on Sunday with calipers, and I have approximately 15.5-16% body fat, not 19.8%. Ah well, such is the issue with using online measuring tools. Next to a water displacement test, calipers are a better tool to use. Not to say that you shouldn't measure yourself, because that is how you find out where you grew and shrunk!

    Ok, I did mine and I dont like it. 29.3% body fat ( 34.2 Pounds of fat and 82.8 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water). How can this be? I dont understand?? I am currently TOO skinny (or so everyone says and am trying to gain) but how can I be made up of nearly 30% fat?

    Grossed out and confused!!!!!!!!!!!

    You have 14.4% body fat.

    You have 16.3 Pounds of fat and 96.7 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

    This isn't far off from my calipers. For everyone whose results seem wonky, there's an explanation in the beginning of the test saying how people who are athletic or skinny & unfit (plus some other examples I think) might have kind of weird results.

    My goal is 15 % - still have a way to go .
  • I will have to do the at home test this evening and see what it says. Last Friday I set up an appointment at my gym to get my body fat %. After doing all his pinches and calculations it came out to be 32% YIKES was I in shock!!! I am 5'8.5 145lbs size 6/8. His comments were...."you are tall and slender just a little soft" haha oh gzzzz. So I'm trying to get a little bit more solid and fit and not so "soft". :)

    Wow. I'm sure this isn't accurate as it has me at 22.6% body fat. I'm sure I'm much nearer 28% at the moment. Carrying some weight round my stomach, this calculator didn't ask for waist measurements?
  • Done the test ... first time and first one ever:

    29% body fat
    18kg fat & 44kg lean muscle

    As caucasian it should be 22% ... got some work to do!
