Wdym by "The Halo in particular for me was within 1%"? I just saw a review and it also analyzes your sleep, activity, etc... interesting, I'll probably buy it.

Who cares, it's just a number ... Go by how you look and feel & how others judge you by.

It's like calorie counters/orthorexics; only obsessive/ill ppl really care much while most just eat when hungry and make the best of it.

I was 14% and it estimated me @ 14.5%, so within 1%

And how did you get your exact BF%?

My hometown university has a large kinesiology department that you can walk into and have multiple tests run for free for their research

Well... I guess I'll have to find out for myself, maybe if not, I'll get this Amazon band, it will help me with my sleep and physical activity as well and I would like to get an approximate of my BF% since I am of a slim build but I have a feeling that my BF% is above 15% due to my ABS.

Also, you have the option to be able to PM you disabled, could you PM me instead? I want to ask you something.

just get a body impedance scale and standardize your protocol. empty your bladder and weigh the morning first thing no drinking water or eating.

TLDR:
the easy methods are all kinda shit

Weight yourself daily and take body circumference measurements (chest, arms, 3-spots waist, hips, thighs) weekly

Look in the mirror and ask yourself am I happy with this physique or do I look like shit. That's all you need.

I didn't even know such an option existed or that I had it enabled
