but it's also important to remember that a lot of things can influence body fat %.
some factors i can think of right now

1) whether you've eaten a meal before getting it evaluated
2) fluid consumption
3) caffieine consumption
4) right before you're due to start your period

so yeah, like your weight the only way to get a good estimate is to do it a couple mornings in a row at the same time.
