I tried the "test your body fat"-thingy and was told I have a body fat percentage of 48. Uh, yeah.... right...

Wow - I am 56% body fat - I knew I shouldn't be eating so much chocolate.
I think the calculations are off just a smidge! Someone else measure and post a picture!
Here's a picture of me just so you don't think of me as 56% from here on out!

I like the target HR calculator. I guess people need help with 220 - their age and then multiplying by a percent.
Are people really that lame?

I like your hair Flybye. And if that is what 56% looks like - sign me up on the chocolate diet.

Flybye you might have more weight with that gorgous hair of yours but I don't believe the calculations are correct. If so, I just popped a starbucks truffle in my mouth like 5 minutes ago..starting the chocolate diet as we speak..

Hmm, the body fat calculator was pretty accurate for me. Maybe it only works for certain body types?

I find it unconscionable that one of the featured videos on the site was titled "How to Install Break Levers on a Bicycle Handlebar"

Body fat calculator
What B.S. To calculate bodyfat, you need a lot more than that. Even tactile calculations require calipers and a bunch of "ciphering" - I'm talking the 7 digit kind of ciphering. The chalk & sidewalk won't cut it.
