Changes

Measuring your body fat is an important way of evaluating your diet and your training. No technique is accurate and all approaches are estimates based on indirect measures. However, there are a number of cost effective and practical approaches you can use. Personally, I use [[Skulpt]] and [[Body Fat Scales]] to track moving daily changes, and periodic DEXA scans to calibrate.

These scales use an imperceptible electrical signal to estimate body fat. This makes these scales quick and easy to use, and the accuracy of the scales that measure from the hands and feet is quite reasonable. I recommend the Omron HBF-510, which retails for about $60-$65 on [http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-510W-Composition-Monitor-Scale/dp/B001IV61J4 Amazon.com].
