    From all the posts I've read on this thread, I think that if you are within the average healthy weight range for your body, all 3 sites' calculators are fairly accurate.

    Mine:
    Health Central: 21%
    Livestrong: 21.48%
    Scientific Physic: 22%

    Health Central has me at 31% and the other two at 35%. Sadly, I think the 35% is probably more accurate.

    I may splurge on a BodPod test next month, just because I've always wanted to!

    Thanks for posting, OP -- it's helpful to have another resource.

    This was off by 6% for me.
    Sadly.

    I'm at 15% BF right now but the site gave me 9%.
    It is way off for me too. I had mine tested with calliper.

    My May goal is 10% BF....so...yea...

    I don't think it's very accurate. I got 17% and I am quite unfit with hardly any muscle...

    they have me at 20.5 - i'd love to believe it but...
    think they should be taking height and waist measurements too. i quite liked the one on the zone diet website - had me at 24 which seems a bit more likely. thanks for posting though.

    Health Central = 22.8 % BF

    Scientific Psychic = 32.7% BF

    Live Strong = 32.8% BF

    I also have an app called 'Fitter' = 22.6% BF

    My only conclusion is that both HC and FItter dont ask for height and both say 22ish% BF
    However SP & LS both ask for height and both say 32% BF

    I didnt do this because I didnt want to sign up etc. Too much hassle..I go to a site that gives you a body fat % based on muscular people, not like Im a super fit person but I have more muscle than most slightly over weight women and I do a lot of strength training.....I may post the link on here if I can remember what it was
    * if your muscular the regular body fat websites are not a good choice for you
