Predict your body fat percentage using your BMI

If you already know your body fat percentage then was this formula accurate? It was quite accurate for me.

If you don't know your BMI, use this calculator to find out: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

For gender, enter 1 if you're male and 0 if you're female. If you're she-male like Harisu then 0.5..? -huh

This one was 6% higher, I guess it doesn't take muscle mass into consideration. I'll try it on my sister.

 

Can you really predict fat% this way? Whats the logic btw?

 

that's a body mass caculator, has nothing to do with body fat, if u wana know ur body fat do a pinch test

 

the first part gets the BMI the second part uses your BMI to calculate fat%

 

i think that system breaks down at a certain point...

 

Doesn't seem logical cos muscle mass to fat ratio varies, bone density differs.. so how can the fat % be calculated without accounting for them? But then again.. its just an estimate..

 

^agreed i have seen my friends that are about 200lbs and i typed it in and well its obese but then they all muscle.....so ...errr
