How to measure body fat accurately
We’ve learned plenty about how to measure body fat since we opened our own body scanning service. There's a few ways to do it, but not many ways to do it well.We'll put our biases up front; we are a 3D body composition scanning business. We chose our Styku scanners because we think they give the best results relative to the scan cost for customers, and the hardware cost for us. We like to be open and honest about our service and competing services so we put this guide together for people as a starting point for researching how to measure...
