I apologize if this has been discussed. My friend sent me this app “Spren”.

It calculates your body fat.

I had a dexa scan 2 weeks ago and came in at 18%. The app shows me at 18.2%

Curious if you guys have tried it

Does is take into account having a very large penis? The Dexa always messes up due to my gigantic penis.

Yes, but you have to enter that in your settings on your own, the app doesn't detect your huge penis and make the adjustment for you.

If you have the guy hold it for you it's more accurate.

There was no one to help. Are you volunteering because I’m going to do another one in a couple weeks.

I use “Me Three Sixty” it’s been around for a couple years and pretty accurate. Does an avatar of yourself and gives individual measurements of body parts.

Haven’t tried that app, but Amazon’s Halo app did this. They actually worked with Pennington Biomedical Research Center to develop it.

This app is awesome. I just half assed it in my living room and it was within 1% of the 770 Inbody scan I had done recently. Nice that the free version gives you unlimited scans.

Good find

im going to try it this weekend.

i did laugh at the "told me i was fat, do not recommend" comment

i because when amazon halo came out, people were pissed in the results and the images it generated. like really pissed, saying it showed them being really fat and made them feel bad, therefore it was a bad app

That’s great. My results varied quite a bit from my gyms styku scan so not sure which is better. I really want to find a dexa around Lafayette to get real numbers. I wish I would have done it from the get go.

I just tried it out. I've never had any type of scan done so who knows how accurate it is. It shows me at 18.9% body fat percentage. I'd hate to know where I was at back in April

Tried it. It’s right where I expected to be with 15% at 195.

If I ever decide to dial in the diet, I could get it down to 12%.
