What's the most accurate and convenient way to measure your body fat?

Dexa scans are supposedly the most accurate. Groupon often has deals available on them when they make the rounds at local health clubs.

I was horrified (and motivated) when I did my Dexa because I thought I was lookin’ FINE, until the scan showed I was still a comparative lard *kitten*. I plan to get another one when all this virus stuff blows over. It just for my own gratification. No other reason than digital confirmation I done did good.

I don’t think the calipers or the charts would be very effective if you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight. I’ve been pretty damn lucky with excess skin, and am appreciative my body has been good to me after years of abuse, but my belly folds have belly folds, which have belly folds.....that would surely throw off any visual or caliper chart. If I “pinch an inch” I can tug it out five or six!

To paraphrase some of the lovely ladies here, I may be in size four jeans these days, but if I do a nude plank, my excess skin just about reaches the ground. In several places.

*sigh*
