It is possible to use skinfold calipers to [[Body Fat Measures|measure your own body fat ]] on a regular basis, or to go to a specialist to have a periodic measurement taken. As with all techniques to measure body fat, skinfold calipers will only give an estimation of your body fat. Specialist testing can be more accurate than the self administered testing, but it more expensive and generally harder to do on a regular, frequent basis. Self administered testing is quick, cheap and can give a more direct measure of visible fat than other methods.
