Reply With QuoteJust my opinion, but I only trust calipers and Hydrodensitometry Weighing for accurate BF measurement.
Also, what do your measurements read? You are keeping a log of measurements aren't you?

Whats going on, scales suck and I know it, but at the moment I have no other means of getting my BF read, so my fandangle scales read both weight and bf and other things...
last week I was 51.7 kilos and it said 20.5%, today I weight 50.7kilos and 21.5% WTH?
I always thought that if you lose weight, you lose BF! Yes or NO?
thanks for reading

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Those scales will read differntly depending on how hydrated your body is. If you want to lose some body fat get a reading pre and post taking a shower and see the difference. *lol*
Take your reading 1st thing in the morning before eating but post bodily functions. Just use them as an overall indicator. As previously mentioned, for more accuracy use calipers.

Those things suck for body fat. And sometimes suck for weight. I like a slide scale. Way more accurate in my opinion for weight? Bodyfat, well good luck measuring that unless you go hydro.
