Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 We've got a Tanita at home also, and while I don't often use it any more for the body fat level, it is the most consistent scale I've ever had with regard to weight repeatability. By that I mean, you can get on and off the scale several times, and get the same number. This may be because it reads to 0.2 pounds, while the others I've had read to no better than 0.5 pounds, so the others have to round further to put a number on the display. I found that the body fat level was incredibly picky, and if I recall the instructions correctly, it should be done in the evening, and required that your body be properly hydrated. Since I normally weigh myself in the morning (you get lower numbers then! - also more consistent, at least for me) it required that I also weigh myself at night, and when the weight numbers in the evening fluctuate so much depending on how late you ate dinner and what your fluid intake was that evening, I could never convince myself that the body fat numbers were real (in an absolute sense), although I do see them drop somewhat when I'm losing weight.
