How do you measure body fat?
People say you need to have at least a 12% body fat to be able to have a visible six pack or abs. Question is, I need to know much much body fat I have. So, how do you measure how much body fat you have and is there like a online calculator for this stuff?

- If you want to measure body fat, there are tons of ways to do it. One of the cheapest and most accurate ways of testing body composition is to use calipers for either a 3-site or 7-site pinch test. Other methods include bioelectrical impedance, bod pod, and water displacement (which is the gold standard for measuring body fat, but is usually unavailable to the general public).
