Give one additional reason why calipers (skin fold measurements) may not be the most reliable way to measure body fat?
No two people may measure the skin fold thickness the same way. There could be variation in results if 2 different people were to measure an individual's skin fold thickness over a time period, there may be variation between the 2 sets of measurements that obscure the progress of fat loss in the individual.
