Measuring body fat percent at home
Question
What can you tell me about Body Impedance Analysis? This local business is offering this service along with a personalized meal plan. http://caamd.org/counseling.htm
In a way it sounds a bit interesting, but I already know I'm overweight & my BMI is too high, so is this just a gimmick? Thanks!
Dear Barbara,
It can give an approximation but it's not a precise method. Professional method is underwater weighing and next best is probably calipers. You might also want to try the US circumference method. To do that, download a free calculator from Banta Diet site (bantadiet.com) at:
