Default Calculated vs recorded body fat

I am confused about the difference between the calculated and recorded body fat numbers. I calculated one before starting the LC, but the calculated one that comes in my plan, is so much highter... (double)... could someone enlighten me please?

"recorded" means that you have you own body fat scale or caliper, and you simply log those values in the measurements log.

"calculated" is the value MyPLAN calculates (using the U.S. Navy formula) based on the stats you entered, for neck, waist,hips and height. Make sure you have entered those measurements correctly (the height can be entered in the "Edit Settings" page).

Hope this helps.
