I have heard of formulas that can estimate your body fat percentage. Are they reasonably accurate? I don't have anyone to help me with calipers, and I'm not really sure if they'd be worth it. Are the formulas generally even close?
Here is the one I have:
1 Multiply weight by .732 then add 8.987
2 Divide wrist circumference by 3.14
3 multiply waist measurement by .157
4 multiply hip measurement by .249
5 multiply forearm measurement by .434
6 add 1, 2 and 5 subtract 3 and 4
(Weight- 6)*100/weight
If anyone has heard of something better I'd love to know about it.
