Body fat: a useful metric?

[hankjam]

I understand BMI does have some issues, so wondered about other metric and Body fat is often mentioned.
If you use it could you recommend a calculation method.... there do seem to be a few about.
Many thanks

I personally do not like measuring fat as we are all unique!

If I was pushed. It would be percentage as measured if you are a professional sportsman.

It would give a sports scientist, dietician an idea how to resolve the imbalance.

I have faith in very low carbing, to remove my visceral fat that gave me so many symptoms that made my life hell.
