Ok, so i read a couple threads here about testing bodyfat, and im still confused.

Are fat calipers an accurate way of guaging your own bodyfat? Or are they a waste of money? Do you need to go have someone trained in it do the testing? I really dont like the idea of having someone else grab handfuls of my fat.

Aside from underwater weighing, calipers will generally give you the best reading. However, get over your fear of having someone grabbing your bodyfat b/c you need an experienced professional to do it for you. Try and have the SAME person do it every month or so.

I take it that the results id get doing it myself - even with a digitcal caliper - would be inaccurate?
