How do you guys regularly test Body fat? How good do you think the scales are that you buy from a sport department store at determining BF?
Are calipers the best way?

I look in the mirror, I do have calipers but do not really use them. Even when used properly they are still going to be off by a few percent.

The scales are inaccurate, don't waste your money.

okay, but it can fluctuate just based on water weight, so whatever it is reading does not really mean anything.
