Fitbit DOES populate this value - and populates it with data which seems at least plausible - but I've no idea on what basis. I don´t have any fancy scales, and I don't enter it myself. So however does it calculate this?

You mean the body fat % right? I have the inspire 3 and am getting a body fat % number from fitbit, but I don't have the scale. When I Google if the inspire 3 calculates it, I got a ai telling me it does, but I can't seem to drill deeper. It lead me here.
