Has anyone ever used those hand-held, electronic body fat monitors? I was just wondering if they were near accurate, or at least if they're consistant. I'm not to handy with the calipers.

do you mean something like the futrex 5000? i think that is a bioimpedence meter or something like that. put in your stats: age, height, weight,etc. and hold this device to your arm or other body part.
anyway, from what i hear they are not very accurate. i have heard of one guy on here around 40yo. and then put in the exact same stats but at age of 20 and it was a huge difference if bf%.
next time i order more protein online i'll be getting some calipers too, prolly the digital ones.
