OP: Thanks for posting this...

I know that 'Individual Results Vary' but if anyone is curious, this equation was within1/2 a percent of my BodPod reading! (Only 0.4 % difference).

Just an aside for those of you that mention wanting to get a BodPod anaylsis,
I splurged on a reading for my 40th birthday, but forgot that I'd have to pay yet again to find out if my body fat % improves or not! :laugh: What I should do is get a home body fat scale, note how it compares to / or calibrate to the BodPod analysis number and keep track that way.

I was thinking that the body fat calculator probably isn't as accurate because it only takes weight and waist size into account, but now that it gave me a 21% body fat percentage, Im a believer!! LOL

None of these calculations are accurate but it's a decent estimate most of the time.

I found this equation shortly after I started here at MFP and I've used it ever since. Recently updated it and it made me smile.

pretty sure i did it wrong... second to last number was 33.4, which sounded right to where i am now on body fat, but last number is 17.3 is that where i should be? and if so, how do i calculate what body weight that is for me? Sorry if this is redundant, just got on here for a quick second
