Body fat estimator

Got this link from another board........It's showing my body fat at 14%.
Just wondering how acurate it is,maybe some of you, that know your BF % could see if this calculator is some what accurate.

Estimate #1 based on height and weight
Your "Ponderal Index" is 11.51 which gives an estimated body fat of 43.7% (102.8 pounds of fat)

Estimate #2 based on waist size and weight
Estimated body fat of 10.8% (25.5 pounds of fat)


I am thinking I am much closer to number 2, at least I hope.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

i don't think it will be very accurate for women (or some women at least). it has me a lot lower than i really am right now - mainly b/c even "fat" i have a fairly small waist. the first calculation shows me at 16% and the second at 3.4%. i wish the 16% were right....but today i'm still higher than that.

average of both 12.5 still not bad

Estimate #1 based on height and weight
Your "Ponderal Index" is 12.37 which gives an estimated body fat of 26.3% (40.0 pounds of fat)

Estimate #2 based on waist size and weight
Estimated body fat of 9.0% (13.6 pounds of fat)

With a scale of 9-26.3%, I think its safe to say that this isnt a very accurate test.



But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

i'm still surprised it doesn't ask gender. at 5' 9" my waist is a lot smaller than your average 5' 9" guy (that's why it thinks my bodyfat is 3.4% )

but my a*s is a lot bigger and it doesn't take that into account (thank heavens)

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

You should be pretty damn solid for your height then, nice job. The #1 figure would be similar to what Canada does, they look at height and weight to determine obesity, nothing more.
