Use calipers for skin fold OK not great for BF but to keep track yes. Water or DEXA is it are accurate.

Why the need for accurate BF% are you competing?? I dont understand the constant desire to know if one is 8,9,10, 12 what ever. How do you look, meeting goals??

The only accurate method to test body fat requires removing all body fat chemically, this is not convenient.

DEXA and under water weighing are very good. (though DEXA is better)

Skinfold calipers are your best choice, for personal use, get the accu measure calipers, I find the cheaper plastic ones far better than the digital ones.[/quote]

I agree. they are best for the buck.
