Anyone know a place in Louisiana where you can do the underwater body fat test?

I would like to get a real body fat measurement without the calipers or those dumb hand held things.

Underwater testing, or DEXA scan, or bod pod.

My google searches have found nothing.

Is there not a single place in Louisiana where this can be done?

LSU-Shreveport definitely has one. Did it a few years ago.

Dunno about Louisiana, but Houston isn't too far LINK

I would be willing to drive to Houston for the underwater test but not willing to go that far for a bodpod.

Even though the bodpod is supposed to be much more accurate then anything I have had access to.

Its just pathetic that there is not a single place in the whole state where you cant get a decent body fat test besides Shreveport.

Shreveport is just a little too far.

I live in Lafayette.

Would be willing to go to Baton Rouge, Lake Charles , or New Orleans.

But Shreveport just a little too far.

Are you in competition? Calipers aren't perfect but you can get close enough.

So why do you feel the need for such accurate measurements?

Try a state funded university. If it has a kinesiology department, then it should have it. SLU does for sure

A picture comparison can be pretty accurate also. I imagine within a few percents. Post your pics.

You should try this place called the mirror. do you look fat and bloated? --> your body fat is too high.

Ulm has underwater weigh in. I'm assuming both lsuhsc and lhscno has them in addition to lsu in br.
