Ok I have just checked my body fat% at 2 diff places.. here and http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html so which one is right? The one here said my BF% was 25% and at the other it said it was 22.5% ...... soo which one do i go by? didnt think there would be that much of a difference, but there was.... I used the same messurements for both places....

Go for a 3rd opinion, and let us know what the outcome is.

Try out www.mybodycomp.com. It takes more measurements into account and is easier to track improvements. They are all off by a point or 2 up or down. Only real way to get an accurate BF% can be costly. Best thing to do is pick of these sights and stick with it so you have consistency every few weeks or month when you take your measurements.
