Default New tanita scales with body water %

[steviekm3]

I am always hesitant about using the Tanita scale that show %bf simply because water loss can really skew the results. For example if you go on a low carb diet you can lose alot of water as the muscles lose glycogen that is not being restored. This can cause your LBM to drop quite a bit even though you aren't really losing muscle.

However if these tanita scales can really measure body water % then we could have a way of factoring in hydration to get get more meaningful number for bf%... Meaning you could adjust the number to some sbody water %..

Thoughts on this ?

they cant measure anything, forget about it

totally useless
They even have a paragraph in the manual saying that it shouldnt be used on bodybuilders as results will not be correct

[¡STFU!ˇNˆLIFT!]

The other problem too is that they measure your lower half much more than the top half ..
even if the measuring it is doing was accurate
