    Is the bodpod right???

    Ok so today I had my body fat tested in the bodpod and the result was 17% now is it possible that it is quite inaccurate. My upper abs are showing and lower abs are coming in. The thing that makes me think its inaccurate is that i ate a protein bar with peanut butter not even 20 minutes before the test because they told me it would be fine to eat before hand. Not only that I had to have the test 3 times instead of the normal 2 because the results varied so much. By the third i was feeling a little claustraphobic and began to breath unnormally. So my question is am I undoubtedly 17% or would I be best to rely on the mirror where I think im between 14-15%?????

    No offesnse man but basically your post says "Bodpod says I am 17, I think I am 14-15, which is right?". Post a pic. Your not supposed to eat anything 2 hours before bodpod. I think that I am 17% I can see a whole 6 pack when I flex but barley outlines if i dont
