Hi,
I'm confused about my body fat readings. On 28/03/2011 I had my body measurements taken at the gym and my bodyfat % using a 'BodyStat 1500' machine. My readings came in at 21.9% body fat.
Now on 11/04/2011 I decided to check myself using calipers, measuring my abs, suprailiac, chest, thigh, and triceps. This came back with 14.8%.
This is a huge difference and I am confused which to go with. I was a little shocked at 22% body fat and thought I would probably be about 16-18%.
I weigh 82.5KG, and am 179cm tall.
When I have just done a workout I can actually see my abs a little. I thought if I was 22% you wouldn't have a chance of even seeing any ab muscle through your fat.
What do you think?
