This may be a bit of fun, but I find it hard to take seriously when it
tells me I have 23.8% bodyfat. I notice it doesn't ask for your
height. Can't work out what has caused it to give such a low figure -
do my 6.25 inch wrists cancel out my 41 in hips and 24 in thighs?

I'm finding the standard weight-to-BMI charts to be worse than useless --
something that's been commented on a fair amount here. I tried the Health
Central one one out, and at least for me it seemed to make some sense:

http://www.healthcentral.com/cooltoo...s/bodyfat1.cfm

It measured my bodyfat at about what I'd imagine it at and gave me a BMI that
sounds like it could be reasonably accurate (22.5%). So having said that, has
anyone tried out this site? Any thoughts on it? D'ya think it's any better than
any of the other BMI guesstimates out there on the web?

I'm hoping to find a casual measurement I can at least put a little stock
in....
