The female gender works if you put in inches, cm doesn't seem to be working, but inches work, a female confirm this
Yeah, inches seems to work, i got 15.2%

But if you're a female putting measurements in centimetres and selecting male, it's completely inaccurate, comes out as 5.2% for me...

Wait this doesn't account that you could have muscle mass. The only true way to measure body fat percentage is the fat on your hip isn't it

yeah it compares neck circumf with waist circumf and gives an approximation based off observations

neck must be related to height. more muscular people have thicker necks etc

dunno

I think zombie had the right idea. Not sure if right either.

The true way is a skilled nutritionist with calipers and I think it's measured at different parts of your body. I've used the electric one which is probably the easiest and most practical of them all

Word, i did it in inches for female, it said 26% which is definitely way too much- it's closer to 18 I can see my obliques a bit and sort of see my top abs.
I have a ghetto booty from squatz, so my hip measurement would have influenced that heaps.
