Ok, a week or so ago I saw the movie, "Supersize me," where a guy eats nothing but McDonald's for a month. When he started, he was 6'2, 185#, and had a body fat % of about 11%. When he finished, he was still 6'2", but about 215#, body fat 18%. This got me thinking about my own body fat (and also more about what I eat).
So other than going to a special doctor or whatever and paying a huge amount of money, does anyone know an easier way to calculate your body fat? I found this calculator through Google:
www.he.net/.../prothd2.html
However, I think it is being too generous for me (body fat about 9%).
I did find this one too:
www.linear-software.com/online.html
It seems that the caliper method is the most accurate. Has anyone done this, what was the cost??
Thanks.

Great movie. You can measure body fat using bioimpedance instead of calipers. Each method has its own limitations. I found this link to one source:
