How Accurate Is This Body Fat Test?
For some people, however, the results of the tape measure test may not come so close to their true percent body fat. People who are very, very fit can get numbers 3 to 5 percent higher than their true percent body fat. Because they don't have a lot of fat inside their muscles, very fit people may be lower in body fat than this tape measure test indicates.
Conversely, if a person is skinny but not fit, this body fat test may yield a number 3 to 5 percent lower than his or her true percent body fat. Though they look thin, unfit skinny people really have more than the usual amount of fat inside their muscles, which you can't see from the outside.
Your Results
You have 28.5% body fat.
You have 42.5 Pounds of fat and 106.5 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).
I know I have at least 17 pounds to lose, but but to be in the ideal fat to muscle ratio using this tool - I need to tone up, too. The site says thin and unfit get inaccurate ratios, as do fat and fit.
