    not to my knowledge. calipers are ok but they depend on the person using them too much. for example my wife who owned a set of $400.00 harpenden calipers when i met her had been cheking mine for months. the % always came out relatively close. the last time i went to the bod pod it had me at 13.1%, she had me at 7.8%.. now u tell me if calipers are worth it?

    ur best bet other than BOD POD IMO would be to post a pic for a ballpark guesstimate rite here.

    It's not for me I know roughly what I am I don't mind just wondering with the likes of you and the other vets if you could come up with a formula that would be close. Sort of like the TDEE one.

    And if the calipers tell you your under 8 % I wouldn't use anything else lol
