There are several easy ways to estimate what percentage of your bodyweight is fat; however there are some disadvantages and margins of error to each. Measuring skinfold thickness by means of a skin-calliper gives a reasonable estimate of body fat composition when the measurements are taken at several areas, but results can vary when measurements are done by more than one person. Another method is bioelectrical impedance as used in many bathroom scales where a small electrical current is passed through your body allowing the electrical resistance of your body to be measured, however the amount of water in your body may affect readings.
