I am tired of relying on the scale every morning because my weight fluctuates so much based on how much water I drink or if I had a salty meal the night before. I want to start tracking my body fat percentage instead to see if I am actually losing fat and not just muscle.

I bought a set of calipers but I find them very difficult to use on myself. I also have one of those smart scales that uses bioelectrical impedance, but the readings change by three percent in a single day. It is very discouraging when you are trying to track progress over a few months.

Is there a better way to do this at home without spending a fortune? I have seen some people mention the US Navy Seal formula using a measuring tape. I would love to hear what methods you all find to be the most reliable for long term tracking.
