body fat caliper tests - how accurate are they?
Discussion
I have recently acquired some accu-measure body fat calipers. I've done the one-site test that is on the instructions, plus the three-site test here http://www.free-online-calculator-use.com/body-com...
I'm curious to know how accurate these tests really are - according to the 3 site test i am 6.55% body fat. The one site test had me at 9%.

I've only got far in my supra iliac. My shoulders are lean! All my fat around waist! Are the scales any food for %age BF. I've got apprix 25% . Soi plenty to work on!
The fat around your waist is the worst kind,and can be indicative of visceral fat percentage.The scales that measure %bf are not very good,calipers are far more accurate when used correctly.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
