A great site to check your body fat.

I had a dexa scan about 2 months ago and was at 43% bf... This website told me 23.3%.... No way.0
-
Not even close to accurate...0
-
I got 22.5% body fat which equals 29.5 lbs of fat and 101.5 lbs of muscle. I hope it is accurate!0
-
i used this one and the live strong and mine were very similar . live strong was 27.94 and this site was 27. last time i used one of the scale i was 28.something and i was a bit heavier too... so all very accurate for me!
what does one think a good body fat % is for me being that i am 5 ft 2 inches and a med build?0 -
Mine said:You have 18.1% body fat.
You have 29 Pounds of fat and 131 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
Livestrong has me at 19.01%
Scientific Psychic has me at 18.8%
^^^ I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I am closer to 22% (down from an all time high of 56%... SWEET!)
I think this is because I have a ridiculously tiny waist (I'm 5'10" and weigh 160 pounds, but my waist is only 26.25") so it skews the numbers.0 -
Honestly, it seems that guessing based on pictures is more accurate than any of those tape measurement sites.

It;s completely inaccurate for me.
My scales give me 41%, LiveStrong gives me 39%, Scientific Psychic gives me 39% and your link?
31%. Yeah no.0 -
bump. thanks!0

if thats right im not obese anymore im overweight whoop whoop0

Seems pretty accurate. It gave me 20.5% and my caliper measurements tell me 20.04%
The scales are horrible. I have one and I just use it as a regular scale now. The bf % it gives will fluctuate too much just from minute to minute, based on hydration, etc.0 -

i did all 3 of those and mine were all very very similar. 27 - 27.94 % bf%0 -
Is it weird that it doesn't ask for your height? I would think that would be a big variable.0

Hm - mine was:
Your Results
You have 25.4% body fat.
You have 47.2 Pounds of fat and 138.8 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
Which I don't know is good or bad, first time I've ever done anything like that site0 -

Personally, I think I'm more the 35% picture, maybe even 40%0 -
Well, it's closer than some I've seen. It says I have 27.5% BF and unlike some of the online tests, it at least recognizes that I have a large frame.
Edit to add ... Livestrong says 37.6%. No IDEA why such a huge difference & which is correct, but I'd guess it is somewhere in between the two, but closer to Livestrong's.0 -

yes that should be considered!Is it weird that it doesn't ask for your height? I would think that would be a big variable.0 -
I'm not at 14% body fat.:laugh:
That first link is way off on mine.
Same percentage doesn't always look the same in a mirror, though. I'll stick with my mirror.

2 out of 3 came up with 29 for me.0 -
That's telling me I have 29% body fat. Everything else has me in the high 30s. I don't believe it.
I have a scale that provides a bf reading, and per the readings it provides, I vary between 37% to 39%. This website showed I was 29%, and I am sure that is not accurate. I had 29% BF when I weighed about 30 pounds less than I do now, and I was much younger too.0 -
Livestrong and Healthcentral are both wrong for me.
Healthcentral thinks I am at 25% body fat and Livestrong thinks im at 47%!
I know that there is no way that I am either. The plain ol BMI chart which is 37% is probably more accurate for me.0 -
19.4% :DD
Livestrong has me at 20.49%, so it seems close enough for me :c0 -
scientificphysco says 19.8
health centrals says 16.8
live strong says 19.8
Soooooo....... go with the highest thanks for the links~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
As usual, websites and tape measures fail when trying to measure BF%.
Get a Bod-Pod done if you want to know the truth.
^Yup^0 -
Bump to check when I get home!0
