Is there a way other than using a body fat measuring scale to determine what your percentage is?

    Under water test is the most accurate. A lot of universities offer the procedure if they have good sports programs or health majors.

    You go under water and blow out all your air and they measure the displacement :o)

    there is but it's easier on a scale with the technology. however their is a method where you measure certain parts of your body with calipers and should be done by a professional that has done it before.

    i bought a body fat caliper online for $4. There are demos on how to use it online, but it's much easier if you have someone do it for you and probably more accurate as well.
