no they just had the scales. i don't see how a machine can calculate body fat so simply. is there anywhere else besides ubc that offers that kind of testing?

i actually just called ubc and they don't have that water thing. sounds like that's reserved for the hardcore athletes and the science students. the guy also said that the calipers are actually less accurate than the scale. but the best time to take the scale measurement is right in the morning when you're dehydrated. water throws off the accuracy. maybe i'll just pick up a scale.
