How do u measure ur body fat???
Scale, clippers, measurements.. I tried googling it. I'm not sure if I did the measurements right. I'd like to have an idea of what % of body fat I have.

Here's a link to a site that goes over several methods and the accompanying formulae

Using calipers is a good method if most of your fat is under your skin (as opposed to visceral fat which is what most men have and is the worst for your health)0 -
The trainers at the gym I go to have a device which tells me, but I found this calculator, which seemed pretty accurate to what the gym's scale told me
