Online body fat test?
I did these two online body fat tests and i got 2 completely different answers. On the first one, (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/) i got 31.86% which is counted as an obese percentage. The second one, (http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html) says i have 16.2%, which is at the athlete range. They kinda worried me cause ya know, no one ever wants to be obese, and my dad's side of the family has a history of type 2 diabetes, and i don't want diabetes when i grow up. I am currently 5' 0". (i'll probably never get any taller >_<) I weigh somewhere between 105-109 lbs. (i just got back from vegging out on vacation (: ... i was 105.6 before we left ) I'm almost 15 years old. I play softball and like to run, but i haven't been very much for the past 2 months or so since we've been on break. I'm not anorexic or anything but my waist is 31" if that helps. Are either of these tests accurate? On the links, take off the ) at the end of the links and they'll take you there. My bad. :)

- i think your normal
- Okay well the first one gave me 32.04% and the second one gave me 25.6%. I've had my body fat percentage tested professionally by callipers and hydrostatic weighing and it came out to approx 24% on both occasions. So I'd say body fat calculators are NOT a good way to accurately assess your body fat percentage.
