asked:


so i used two devices one in P.E. class and one on the internet
the one i used in P.E. class looked exactly like this http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/07/37/96/30/0007379630630_500X500.jpg and it said my body fat composition is 31.5%
and the one i used on the internet …this site:http://www.linear-software.com/online.html and it said my body fat percentage is 18.59%

  1. Truth says:

    Calipers typically have an accuracy slightly better than the electric based ones, BUT that is dependent on the skill of the person taking the measurements.

    With your height and weight, you are probably around 28% body fat. If you are more muscular, then it could be around 25%, or 32% if you are less muscular. The electric ones should be used first thing in the morning before food, drink, or any exercise. These things will throw off your true body fat percentage.

    You are actually a very good body fat percentage.

    Unless you are skilled with the calipers, use the electric one. It looks like it is the closest to what you probably are anyway.
