ACCURATELY measure a container into which your body will fit comfortably. Once you know the volume, fill the container with water.
Lower yourself into the water, allowing excess to spill over the top then climb out. By measuring the amount that the water that has spilled over you are effectively measuring your body volume. You can get a pretty accurate measurement by using the tape measure to see how much the water volume has dropped after you get out of the water.
depends what you mean by accuracy and to what degree. the theory of fractals says that with one measuring instrument you would read x units. with a second smaller measuring instrument to achieve greater accuracy you would read y units (y bigger than x). Moving to a third yet small measuring instrument you would read z units (z > y >x) and so forth. You can never get a truly accurate answer.
Failing all of that use Archimedes displacement principle and get a good estimate !
An alternative method of measuring body volume accurately is through the use of a 3D Body Volume Index (BVI) scanner. The BVI scanner is specifically designed to calculate risk factors associated with a person's shape, through analysis of weight and body fat distribution by body section and body volume measurement.

What are two ways you can find the volume of a shape?
The two ways are:empirical: measure ittheoretical: calculate it (using formulae).
Can you find volume without height?
no your can't. * * * * * You cannot find it using a formula but it can be measured. One way would be to submerge the object in water (or other liquid) and measure the volume of liquid displaced. That will be equal to the volume of the object.
How do you find your body volume by using a marking pencil and a measuring jug?
Well, if the measuring jug is large enough, all you need to do is fill it with water high enough that you can completely submerge yourself. Measure the water level before and after you get in, using the marking pencil. The distance between the two marks is your volume.
How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism without using models?
Measure its length, width and height and multiply the three together.
How do you find the volume of a rectanglular object with a ruler?
Measure the length, measure the width, measure the height, and multiply them all together. LxWxH = volume
How would you find the density of your body?
i heard that you measure your mass and your volume and there you go! mass divide volume.
Why cant you use a ruler to find the volume of a paperclip?
A ruler is used to measure length and does not account for the height or width of an object, which are necessary to calculate its volume. To find the volume of a paperclip, you need to measure its dimensions in three dimensions using a tool such as a caliper or by using a water displacement method.
How you can measure the volume of cake?
the volume of a cake can be found by using the formula to find the volume of a cylinder. Pi (3.14) * (Radius of the cake) squared * (height of the cake)
How do you find the density of a brick?
Density is Weight per Volume so you measure the weight of the brick using a scale and find the volume by multiplying length by width by height and then divide the weight by the volume.

How would you measure the volume of a nail?
To find its volume you can find its mass using a triple beam balance and it's density with a graduated cylinder and use the formula v=m/d
How do you find an objects density?
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
How do you find density in an object?
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
How did Archimedes find the volume of an irregular shape using water?
Archimedes took a bowl full of water of known volume and then dipped the irregular shape body. Amount of water fall down is measured and is the volume of that body.
