When adding my weight to Fitbit it is now also asking me for my body fat percentage.

I downloaded a body fat percentage calculator on my phone which has 4 different formula options using measurements of the body, which have me coming out at obese, acceptable, and Fit depending on which one I choose.

For those of us who can't afford fancy Aria scales, what formula should we use to input our Body Fat Percentage into the Fitbit app?

I would just skip over that field to leave it blank. I figure it is there just for people who do have Aria or other means of measuring body fat, but nothing would be added by making some guesstimate of your own.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
