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.

Probably not.


Best choices - hydrostatic and Dexa
Followed by - Body pod and calipers
Don't even bother with - online calculators or scales.

Fwiw

Best method is Dexa, but it cost $$$ .I go by images healthiack.com/images/body-fat-percentage-chart-men-women.jpg

FWIW I had my BF taken by my personal trainer and it was much different from what I would have guessed based on these images. The cause could have to do with certain people carrying fat in certain places.

I get mine tested by hydrostatic three times a year. I compare it to calipers when I get home and without fail, the calipers test me at 5-6% less bf.
The first time I went to get tested I almost cried because my gym trainer and my calipers or me at 21% and I was 28%.
Basically it had been helpful to me to get tested just so I know I'm not losing muscle mass when I cut, but if you are happy with how your clothes fit and how how you look in the mirror, then I feel like that's just as good.
