I dont think those thing are accurate at all, from my experiences with them. Get some calipers!

- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
- Skinfold Measurements
- Hydrostatic Weighing Tanks
- Infrared Interactance
Of the four, Hydrstatic Weighing Tanks are the most accurate. You will usually find them at sports clinics or Universities. Skinfold Measurements (callipers) are the next best method. If you use callipers make sure you don't take any readings after you have worked out as this will produce an inaccurate result. BIA measuring devices can be dependant upon your level of hydration so they are not always reliable.
