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.

The two ways are:empirical: measure ittheoretical: calculate it (using formulae).
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.
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.
Measure its length, width and height and multiply the three together.
Measure the length, measure the width, measure the height, and multiply them all together. LxWxH = volume
