how often do you check body fat?

I just bought a set of calipers and got an initial reading. It's probably inaccurate but I'm going to check again in the same way to see change in a month.

Is a month too soon? How often do you check?

I check every couple days and write it down. Then make a chart and track to see if there are any trends. But that's me. Some people would be driven crazy doing this because of how inaccurate body fat measurements tend to be, as the number goes up and down a bit.
