What is a way to calculate your body fat percantage?

- Body fat percentage go to this website.
- The most readily available method with the highest accuracy is going to be the skinfold method. Find a certified personal trainer that has experience in this type of measurement. This type of testing will usually run about $25 and takes about 10 minutes to complete. -- Don't use the website references as these are very general estimations that create a wide range of error. -- Bioimpedance measurements have errors related to hydration levels and the fact that typically the measurement is only taken over the lower half of the body. -- x-ray and hydrostatic aren't that expensive but it is more difficult to find a place to have this done and it takes longer. One of the problems that people will have with hydrostatic weighing is getting all of the air out of your lungs in order to get an accurate weight. Good luck!!
