Measurement Tips for the Accu-Measure Body Fat Caliper

• Take all measurements on the right side of your body.
• To grab the skinfold easily and correctly, make sure your skin is dry and lotion free.
• Do not take measurements after physical activities or when you are overheated. The added fluid under the skin may increase skinfold thickness.
• If you are female, avoid measuring during the menstrual cycle when there is no significant and/or noticeable weight gain.

• Measurements should not be taken on broken, damaged or unhealthy skin.

• If you are obese, it is not recommended that you take skinfold measurements. It is also useful to take tape measurements with a body tape measure such as the MyoTape.
  

• Always use the same Accu-Measure caliper, and take the readings at the same time of day, for consistent monitoring of body composition changes

• Experience is necessary to consistently grasp the correct size skinfold in the correct location.
  Practice until you get consistent results
