  • Buy a Body Fat CaliperUnless you are specifically looking for your body density, it doesn't mean too much. Body fat is derived from body density and measuring skin folds gives you your density. The density is thenplugged into an equation which converts it to your body fat percentage.
  • There is more than 1 method (or equation) to derive your body fat percentage. Both methods will give you a similar percentage.
