Why You Need to Know Your Body Fat Percentage

Caliper: A caliper is a low-cost way to measure your body fat. They’re inexpensive and considered by some to be a more reliable measure than a scale.

DXA body scanner: A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (DXA for short) is able to show the exact breakdown of bone, fat tissue, and muscle mass in your body.  This X-ray will cost more than an electronic scale, but it’ll be most accurate.
