Seconding the wrongness; I tested it after seeing this comment, and yeah, it's not even within ballpark range for me.
Also, it's not using the US Navy formula which it claims it is; that doesn't include wrist or forearm measurements, AFAIK.
It clearly likes to be in the vicinity of 32%, though. Possibly because this means it gets to offer you diet links.
Googling found me this:

I would say it looks very much like the site's not legit, and I wouldn't trust it further than I can throw it.
