Body fat of 5.76%! Impossible!?!?!?
Hi I just calculated my body fat percentage using http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/body-fat-chart.php. I'm 156 pounds and have a waist of 28 inches the results were 5.76% This is impossible isn't it. You have a essential fat sorage of 2-5%. Athletes have a body fat of 6-13% If this is incorrect can anyone recommend a RELIABLE body fat calculator please? Thanks I tried the link from MotoX86 the BFP result was 3.08% And yes I am very tall (6.2"/6.3") I tried the link from MotoX86 the BFP result was 3.08% And yes I am very tall (6.2"/6.3"), slim and rather muscular

- you shouldnt calculate your body fat percentage on the internet its not accurate i recomend you go and see someone like a personal trainer anyone thats quilified to do so and it is possible to get a 5.76 body fat percentage
- theres a few ways you can check easily, if you have a gym membership ask a trainer, or find a electronic one, they might have em at walgreens or some other drug store, im 7% in very good shape so theres a small chance your around that
- Thats certainly not impossible if thats truly your waist size and your weight. Although, if you have a 28inch waist and weigh 156 pounds you either are very tall or must have significant amount of muscle. The only way to really find out is to have a full check out at a gym or health club. I don't trust electric ones in the slightest. I remember about 8 months back I tried one at Gold's gym, and it came with a reading of 7%. There was no way that is accurate. Back then according to those online bodyfat calculators my bodyfat level said around 16%. In reality, I believe it was somewhere between the two, maybe around 13.
- That could be correct, you would have a lean body. Try- http://www.linear-software.com/online.html See what you get, it probably will be more accurate.
