I was wondering how reliable the results are when you measure your own fat%. I got one of those electronic calipers. Here's my measurements of yesterday:
Results:
Formulas I used:
density = 1,112 - (0,00043499*SUM) + (0,00000055*SUM^2) - (0,00028826*AGE)
fat% = (4,95/density) - 4,5
So this results in 6,63%. Judging from the mirror its impossible my fat% is that low, I think its rather at 10 or 11%, so I think something is wrong, but I'm pretty sure my measuring technique is OK.. How do you guys measure fat%? Are these realistic measurements?
Thx
