Tanita Body Comp. Scales
I recently bought a Tanita body composition scale so I can monitor my BF% and hydration. I’m not sure I should have done that! At the time I got it, the gym trainer measured my BF at 19% yet the scale said 23%. I’ve slacked on my eating discipline over the last 4+ weeks and the scale is currently showing 217lbs/24% BF/ 52% Hydration. So, even though it doesn’t tell me what I want to hear, I’m going to use it to monitor my progress and adjust my Bspace profile accordingly.
Does anyone else use Tanita scales and are they accurate (or close to) for you?

that scale takes everything that isnt bone and muscle and says its bodyfat. So say you have water in your body which you do it will count that as bodyfat

I have one of those Tanita scales too. I weigh-in every Sunday morning. It can be a killer sometimes.
I think I really should’ve gotten the one for "athletes" since I’ve read that one is more accurate for people who work out regularly.
