Calipers - however, if you do it yourself, it's not very accurate. More accurate than bioimpedence but still, not the best. You could look into hydrostatic water dunk. That is the most accurate there but not home based.

Yes Jodi is right. If you of the rich type i'd suggest it. Buy a set of calipers and measure the same area all the time. you'll see if your losing B/F or not. You may not have the correct measurements but will let you know if your losing B/F
