Follow this method on how I track my body progress with a low budget. Each month photos, measurements, and body fat(%) show me where I am in my evolution to reach my Golden Ratio. I take my results in the morning with my stomach empty or a glass of water. I calculate my body fat ( %) with the 1 site skinfold measurement (fat caliper) and I use the caliper’s chart.
