A doctor has provided 1 answer
Body composition: Body composition analysis (where you can find the percentage of fat, muscle and water) in your body is the way to do it. It can be done by bioimpedance machine, available at gyms, doctor offices and the lower quality to consumers for cheap, or using DEXA scan or under water weight.
