How to determine your Body Fat percentage
There are many methods these days.. underwater is less used, but accurate and still found at major schools.. now days you can find "bod pods" at universities and gyms around the country.. commonly used methods are bio-electric impedance and caliper tests.. a weight loss clinic I go to get tested sometimes has a direct / segmental bio-electric impedance analysis tester that is also very accurate.
probably the easiest will be to buy a pair of calipers, inexpensive and prone to human error so take the time to read and learn how to use them properly.. there are also digital calipers which range in function and price and typically perform well.
Heere is a site that is informative, instructional, and probably one of the best resources you will ever find and use when determining your bodyfat % on your own. enjoy.

Bod Pod is the gold standard next to water. +/- 1.5% About 40 bucks at most universities and fat clinics
Dunk test is the most accurrate. Pinch tests are close but everyone Carries in different area. Dunk is absolute
.. probably the easiest is to buy a scale that checks it or you can buy a handgrip type that measures it for you.. cheapest will be calipers and there's different tests to compare with those methods.
