Ways to measure body fat ?

[melaniesampson]

[FONT=&quot]Are there any simple and accurate ways to measure my body fat? I've read a lot about it on the net, but most sites have disclaimers that tend to make me think its just an algorithm. Any chance there's something more accurate I can do myself?[/FONT]

Get a set of calipers and have your wife/friend do it or most gyms have free fitness accessments were the use a body fat measuring system not 100 percent accurate but? I use the mirror..

Very few common methods are remotely accurate, but calipers are a good way to track progress at least. A dexa scan will be one of the most accurate results
