BF estimation!!!
hi guys
i just was wondering how do u guys measure your body fat percentage accurately?
im planning to buy a body fat caliper (skinfold) but after doing some research i found its not very accurate way to estimate body fat. the error percentage in readingis +/-3.5% to 4% .......that means my BF can be 10-6%....that’s a big difference.
it also requires precise and consistent technique; not accurate for very thin or very fat people; only measures fat under the skin; some caliper brands are unreliable; not an accurate estimate of actual % body fat; based on underwater weighing
