Hey,
So I'm trying to cut right now and am having trouble finding my body fat percentage. In your opinion what would be the best way for me to do this from home? I found this from google and plan on trying it tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure if it's reliable or accurate at all.
Thanks in advance

I do not think any of these types of calculations are very accurate. People have fat distributed differently. This make measurement in this way impossible. The only way to be accurate is a good multi-point caliper test or going to the dunk tank.
