Anyways, my BMI number using those calculations is 23.05. My fat % as measured on a fat scale (uses electrical impulse to measure fat) is only 13%. So, that BMI number seems odd to me.

Mine is 13.1% --> the scary part is I am skin and bones. I took part in a medical study recently which measured heart size and body composition etc, including a DEXA (laser machine) scan, which told me that figure. I was slightly higher on a bio-impedance test (but was dehydrated - it is a hot summer here). I look like (and thought I was) more like a 10%... must be a nice amount of fat around the heart!!
