Is this body fat calculator wrong?
http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/library/blbodyfatcalculator.htm Woah. I only got 16.6%. My BMI is 22.7 and I'm not muscular at all. Do my bones just weigh a lot or something, or is the calculator I linked to just not right? I've never been "skinny" - thin, maybe, but never skinny. Spam is yucky. ):

- Body fat calculators are notoriously inaccurate. If you are not muscular with a BMI of 22.7 then it's highly unlikely you will be at such a low percentage. I have a BMI of 23, I'm fairly musclar and still have 24% body fat. I don't think I could get my body fat under 20% at this BMI unless I was seriously into bodybuilding. I would get yourself some body fat callipers (accu-measure) or go to a facility that offers hydrostatic weighing or DEXA scanning. Hope this helps.
