    Smile Body fat % with calipers question

    I took 3 measurements with caliper

    Chest 12mm

    Stomach-25mm

    legs- 18mm

    Now how do i find my overall body fat percentage?

    Im trying to find out my BF so i can use the 3/Katch-McArdle:Considered the most accurate formula for those who are relatively lean. Use ONLY if you have a good estimate of your bodyfat %.
    BMR = 370 + (21.6 x LBM)Where LBM = [total weight (kg) x (100 - bodyfat %)]/100 To get the best results.

    I'm not sure.
    It might be best to try a couple and see how the results vary. The one with the most inputs should be most accurate.
