the best way ...and it can be difacult to find ...is ultra sound ..they take 2 reading s, one on the thigh ,and one on the waist...very accurat as it measures the thicknes of the fat ,without pinching it.
Electrical impedance is very in accurat.

Yeah, then there's also the "pinch" test which has a device that pinches behind your arm and measures BF% based on that. This method is less accurate. You could also buy a high-end scale. They usually calculate you're BF% as well, but it is only based on you're height and weight I believe. So you could be tall and thin, with little muscle and more fat, and it would give like the same reading as someone who is just as tall and weighed the same, but had more muscle. I could be wrong on this one though. Someone please confirm my deduction.

I like to use calipers... Whats great about them is although they might not be the best method or most accurate, there consistent. So you can measure yourself throughout a cycle and see changes.

I do the underwater test as often as I can get around to it. It's accurate and it charts my progress and I get printouts to monitor my self.
