body fat analyzer?

[TheOak84]

how do those things work exactly.

before my diet and cardio it was 20%, now its 15 after 3 weeks.

im guessing its accurate, but someone told me its better to do it on an empty stomach before u work out.

any thoughts?

Are you using an electronic scale or calipers?

The scales are affected by a lot of different variables, (fluids, body temp, etc.) the calipers are the most accurate but there is some argument about a single test site at the suprailliac or at the three seperate test sites. I am using the caliper at the single test site it seems accurate but who really knows.

Most of the Calipers come with a graduation formula for either a single or multiple test site formula.

I will look for the standard three (3) location test formula. I will get back to ya when I dig it out.

I think the electronic are garbage...Everytime I use one it's says my bodyfat is like 24-26%. I have never been over 10% in my life.

I agree - mine has said I'm over 30% BF for, like, forever...... they are pretty inaccurate......
