How to accurately measure body fat

[stoker54]

I was wondering if someone knows what is the best method to measure body fat and why? I’ve seen a lot of devices to measure bf online but I’m not sure how accurate they are. Tks

I believe something like a dexa scan is the most reliable.

Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning is the gold standard method used to measure and understand bone density, body fat levels and muscle mass.

If you are looking for body fat testing with precise body fat percentage and lean muscle mass analysis a DEXA body scan is the best method of measuring this.

Yeah I heard about that, but I wanted to know what’s the most accurate device that you can buy, I know it’ll never be 100% but something that can give me a good idea , you know.
