The weight is quite accurate, as I've compared it to other medical quality scales. I'm quite dubious about the body fat % measurement, only because it can fluctuate so wildly from day to day.

Stand on your head and measure how far everything moves down.

If you live near BYU they have a pod machine that you can pay to test you

For me, I dig a hole in the ground and stick my head in it.

Calipers. Have the same person do it each time.

I don't know if this is the best way, but it's only $10

why are you concerned about body fat %? Being healthy & active isn't enough?

Because I turn 50 in 2 years, and I expect to look like Herschel Walker...

Just don't go around advertising your % like some do. They look desperate.

Never happen, because it'll never be low. I'm just trying to lower it.

Bod pod or natant method.
