how to measure bodyfat

iraszl · 06-Jul-03, 04:29 AM

is there a device that i should buy or how does it work? or shall i just rely on the looks, since that's what matters anyway?

Body fat calipers are used for determing body fat. Many people here use the FatTrack II.

I like the Slimguide - simple, inexpensive and works well.

Hey Jakenden ... you (I think it was you) had a great source on the FastTrack II calipers (really low price). Could you remind us? Thanks a million (my son and daughter are in the market for one).

Do you have a quality source (and a price) for the Slimguide, CJNY?

Cursor: I just ordered the FatTrack II for $29 from bodybuilding.com. It also comes with a free MyoTape for body measurements. What's more, 2-day shipping is only around $3 I think. Total was around $32 for all of that.

I got the Slimguide from Creative Health Products.

About the same price as the FatTrack mentioned.

EDIT: Have since found several places that carry them for $20.00 but don't have experience with these suppliers.
