Calculating body fat percentage?!
Question: I'm starting the zone diet and the back of the book tells me how to measure my body fat percentage by taking measurements. However, I have a scale that does the same thing. I used both methods and one is 31% (scale) while the other is 39% (zone method). Which should I use?

Does you scale take into account your age and sex?
I think the scale is more accurate then, based on what you said.
It has computer data, wheras the measurement, I think is more general.
usually, the lower one is more accurate, so use that one-the 31
Go halfway and say your at 35% and work from there.
