2 out of 5 stars Not an accurate way to measure body composition   June 23, 2009
L. Worthington (Bonney Lake, WA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I recently started weight training in earnest, about 3 hours a week (in addition to my 4-5 hours of cardio) and have been really shaping up, getting compliments on my changing physique and looking better in general. My weight has changed, it's remained consistent, however much to my dismay the body fat percentage on this scale kept climbing making me very concerned and a little upset. I'd look at myself in the mirror and say, "Is there something I'm missing here? I'm looking more muscular than I ever have before, have almost dropped another size, so why is it that all of the sudden this scale is showing me as having more body fat?" I spoke with friend who is very familiar with these scales and she told me that there was a setting for "athletic" adults. I read the manual again, and... ah-ha! There's the setting. But I don't exactly fit the profile of what Tanita considers to be an athletic adult. I don't exercise more than 10 hours a week and I haven't been "fit" most of my life. But, for the sake of curiosity I set up a new profile and give it a try. The difference in body fat percentage between the two is alarming. How can this be? If this monitor uses bioelectric impedence to determine your body composition, then why would changing one setting alter it's results so much? Well, according to Tanita, it is based on "algorithms" or in layman's terms - an educated guess based on other people's results. Okay. Well, that was a huge waste of money. If I wanted a guesstimate, I'm certain I could do that on my own. At least the scale/weight in pounds is accurate and I suppose it's a redeeming enough quality to deserve a second star.

This is an excellent tool for any serious athlete checking their body composition (weight, fat%, muscle, etc). The readings are consistent so long as you are able to check your readings at the same time during the day. Waiting 2-3 hours after any meal is highly recommended.
