Body Fat done yourself???

adam_nunya Posts: 24 Joined: 2004/07/06	2004/07/06, 10:34 AM I'm in Iraq right now, so I can't just up and go to the doctor to get my BMI or bodyfat calculated. Is there a way i could check it myself?

There are sites that go by measurements you take, like Biofitness.com among many others, but they certainly are not very accurate. Even calipers have around a 3% margin of error either plus or minus. As for BMI there are tons of calculators online for that also. Good luck! -------------- Damselfly Whoever said that sunshine brings happiness never danced in the rain. \\"unknown\\"
