Hello I'm trying to work out my macros but I need my bodyfat to find out my leanbody mass, so I was wondering what's the best way to figure it out? Is there any accurate bodyfat calculators online ?? Thanks.

    Your easiest and fairly accurate way is to look at charts of pictures of different body fat levels and estimate. You can also post here and some folks have the calibrated eye to let you know. It will get you close enough to set your macros.

    There aren't going to be any calculators that are accurate. Best way forward is to post a pic (front/side). The people with experience will chime in.

    You can start by comparing yourself to the below picture...

    For macro calculating purposes I would just estimate and compare to the photos. When in doubt, I overestimate LBM and aim for the high end of the macro minimum range.
