Pallette Im curious if you are just putting in your pants size as opposed to actually measuring your waist with a tape measure. I wear a 34-36 jeans but according to the tape my waist is 39".

Yeah...I think that I agree with this.
I don't think it's taking into account that a girl can have some decent amount of muscle.
I think it just took my weight, my height and my measurements and decided that I must be a fatty.
I mean...one of them came out to 31% bodyfat, which is so laughable. And I did it twice, and it came out 31 each time.

With calipers mine comes out different alot too though. With calipers mines ranged from 9%-13%.

Definetly the most drastic with you Jenny. I wouldve guessed you around 10-12% thats crazy you got a result as high as that. See, its just another reason to use calipers and throw these BS calculators out the window.

Funny thing...If I'm a male, with the same exact measurements, my bodyfat is 0%.
