jenny b fit's Journal, 28 February 2021

I have a hand held body fat reader. The athlete setting reads differently than the “normal” setting. I work out probably six hours or so a week, and have been eating very well for about two months.
I also have a standing scale with a fat percent reader.
They read differently.
The standing scale reads very close to the athlete setting on the hand machine.
Which would you assume is the closest to being accurate?
142.4 lb Lost so far: 13.1 lb.    Still to go: 2.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Body Mass Index is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. Athletes and bodybuilders have more muscle mass relative to height, usually. If you are a muscular person, the "athlete" setting might be better, but my gut feeling is that you'll get a more reliable result with the "normal" setting.
