Body fat analyser?

[octane_orphan]

How do people measure there body fat?

Was just looking for a half decent set of scales and some of them actually zap you and tell you your body fat % .... are they accurate or is there some other method?

Here is a home kit the gym you go to may also offer a service to measure BF.

They are not especially accurate, the only purpose they will serve is to give an idea off the change you make in BF%.

Most people I have met use calipers, you pinch your fat layer on specific places at the body and calculate the amount off fat you have.

you get what you pay for.

some scales are really accurate, others are crap.

this is the one i use right now http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000094ZGJ/websitementcommu/102-3945778-7900101 . its results are very close to the results i get when i weigh myself at the body composition tank, so it's pretty accurate.
