Meal timing irrelevant. Stopped reading. Sounds like you're trying too hard to make a sticky.

Personally, I find a protein rich meal an hour before going to the gym gives me the most energy. I feel carbs make me a bit sluggish and sometimes sleepy if it's from bread or pasta.

Exactly how is your scale able to measure you're body composition with shoes on when it sends an electrical pulse through your feet? Mine will not work unless I'm barfeet.

Accurate as in, for myself. Since it has my age, sex, activity level and height in there, it will be able to give me MY readings over time.

I'm not saying when it displays 15.1% that that is my...
