FAT CALIPER
For myself, using the skin fold method on my own spreadsheet, Accu-measure caliper taken at the suprailliac (2cm above the hipbone). Put left index finger on point of hip bone and move up one inch.
Pinch suprailliac skinfold between thumb and forefinger, pull skin and fat away from muscle tissue.
Place caliper over skinfold 0.5 cm from finger, close caliper until there is a click, release.
Repeat three times, taking the average. To find out your percent enter your age in this form. For another more involved method.
