Why does it tell me two different body fats?!


Question: My tanita scale which measures my body fat while weighing me usually says I'm between 37-38% body fat. I did a few body fat calculators on some websites. one said I was 50% body fat, the other said 43.65%. I want a better idea of what my body fat is. which method is closer to the truth, the scale or the web site calculators?

Either reading is way too high!! See a doctor and get on a diet.

try going to your doctor that way you know its for sure

the scale just guesses from your weight/age/height.
