Device to calculate body fat percentage?

What is a good afordable way to caculate body fat percentage at home? I don't want to be directed to websites where you type in your measurements! So don't bother. I want a device or type of scale or something. Any ideas?Device to calculate body fat percentage?
I use a scale that I paid $30 for at walmart....made by the company "Taylor". It gives it in increments of .5



A better one is http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d鈥?/a>

Omron Portable...gives it to the .1.



One thing to realize is that all bodyfat calculators are not pefectly accurate, they are only consistent with what they say, so you can monitor if your losing body fat or gaining, but not what your exact body fat is. Doctors now say that calipers don't even provide accurate measures. The only accurate way is to put someone underwater and there are a bunch of tests they can do, but its very expensive to do.Device to calculate body fat percentage?
dear weight watcher,

There is a good site that doesn't need instruments. It finds your BMI (body mass index) and tells you if your at a healthy weight or not. All you need to know is your height, weight, age, etc. Basically all of the stuff it needs for showing if your healthy or not.http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/

Hope this helps,
