Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003Caliper measurement?
I have a question for all of you who use calipers to measure fat percentage. I'm not sure where to measure in the tummy area. If I measure on the side an inch above my pelvic bone, my fat percentage is 24%. If I measure in the middle, it's 28%. Where should I, or where do you all measure?

I'm at 27.8%, so I have some work to do. Thanks, Jayjay! Martha > I'm not sure where to measure in the tummy area. If I measure on the side an > inch above my pelvic bone, my fat percentage is 24%.

Clearly you should measure where it comes out to 24%. :-) Wendy, who still stucks in when she measures PS: I finally ran out of the trader joe chocolate whey protein powder yesterday... but meanwhile, a Trader Joe opened up 20 miles from here so I could actually buy more! (Thanks for tiding me over until civilization reached my area.) :-) > > I'm not sure where to measure in the tummy area.

But, I just got my Sur la Table catalog (gourmet cookware store), and I'm pretty sure that's my favorite store. : ) Martha "Wendy" wrote <snip> > PS: I finally ran out of the trader joe chocolate whey protein powder > yesterday... but meanwhile, a Trader Joe opened up 20 miles from here so I > could actually buy more!

Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 Calipers are tricky and require an experience "pincher" as you might find in a gym. Two pinchers measured me, the novice said 25%, the "pro" 15%. I'll take 15%. Being weighed under water ($200?) is the "gold standard." Men have an advantage - waistline is a good measure - 40 inches obese, women 35 inches. > I have a question for all of you who use calipers to measure fat percentage. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Martha |
