My mom has this device that you input your information and then hold it out in front of you and it measures your body fat percentage by sending a tiny electrical signal through your body or something like that... unfortunately, I don't know what it's called
ETA: I'm not sure if this is the exact one, but it looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-306C-Loss-Monitor-Black/dp/B000FYZMYK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1321932677&sr=8-40 -

The easiest way is to use one of the online calculators. I hear the Navy one is best.
