[Crsupportgroup] Tanita Scales/% Body FatRMR

[Guest guest]

In a recent discussion on % BF, several have mentioned (me included)

that they like to use one of the scales made by Tanita. While they

have limitations, they do show trends.

In a recent move, I damaged mine, and was about to get a new one, when I

noticed that they just came out with a new line that is supposed to not

only measure %BF, but also Body Water %, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Basal

Metabolic Rate, Metabolic Age, Visceral Fat and Physique Rating.

I am not sure how they are doing it, or their accuracy and have

contacted them about it, but I have also ordered the top ironman model

to try it out. I am interested mostly in the RMR and Bone Mass.

So, if anyone else is interested, you can see the new scales here.

Rodney, maybe you want to also look into how they are proposing to do

this.

PS again, no financial interest in the company at all

PSS, just about finished with 100 MedGem RMR tests and will compare them

to standard RMR equations, like HB and see how they do.
