I was using a handheld BIA device to measure my body fat. Today I was curious how that compares with the fat calipers I have. Now I'm in a quandary. The BIA has my body fat at around 25% while the calipers give 15%. Which one to use or do I just average?

Well, I have no idea, so sorry, can't help! I've never tried to measure fat. I can see it and feel it, so I just tell that way that I want to have less of it.

That's a big difference... I've bot a handheld BIA and there is a 10% difference between the 'normal' setting and 'athletic' one. The difference in choosing one or the other is how often does one exercise. I qualify for the athletic one but I'm sure that I'm not at 32% BF. What purpose does it serve in knowing the BF%? Maybe just pick one way to measure and try to move away from it to something you feel better with?

I guess as with the scales it's the trend that is important?
