BMI is just a product of your height + weight.  Body fat = composition (fat/muscle)
For body fat, you'd have to 1) use calipers, 2) use a Bod Pod ($75 just to visit one), 3) use a cheap, inaccurate home scale.
I do #3.

			Using calipers is something that requires experience and talent, not just any moron can do it accurately.

			Went back up to 220 lbs.  On 5/9, restarted low carb eating.  Down to 205.7 as of this morning.  Goal is 2 lbs/week throughout the summer.

			I am maintaining at 208ish.  I don't eat as much as I'd like through the week, then I eat like shit on the weekends.  Still hitting the gym/swimming 3+ miles a week, so that is helping.
