Bodywhat is a new website that tells you not only your body fat percentage, but how sexy it thinks you are, along with who your celebrity body double is - all from a single photo.

Bodywhat does the rest of the work, 3D modeling your body and comparing it to its database to extrapolate different metrics about your body. It works by comparing different data points in your picture to a reference set of thousands of others.
