I'm looking for a simple way to keep a log of body fat percentage at home. There are the bathroom scales, or the hand-held ones. Which kind and which model is the most accurate?
Dr Johnson rumbles with the RawGod. And lives to regret it.

I purchased a fitbit aria for the tracking stuff. The BF scale is grossly inaccurate, but provides useful trending. The issue is that it uses impedance running a current through your body to detect your lean mass, water weight, fat mass. For example in the same day I can be 9.5% or 11.5% depnding if I'd use the bathroom, had a meal or drunk enough water.
The most useful way to approach it is to measure with as many of the same parameters being equal eery day. Shit the scale has shown me at 16% bf with a 4mm caliper measurement off lateral abs (~9% bf for my age group).
So once you build a picture on their trending tool over a few years the graphing becomes useful for trending, but otherwise calipers or a bod pod is the best way to go.
