Percent on Scale???
Okay so I just got this new scale and I don’t have the instructions So you tell the scale if you are a child, adult, or athlete Then you say if you are male or female and how tall you are. Anyway, after you stand on it, it shows your weight and percentage At first I thought it showed your body fat percent but mine was really high It was around 30 (I am female and adult) Yet when I looked at online for calculators that calculate your body fat I typed in my weight and waist measurements and got 18%. So now I am confused does anyone know what the percentage on the scale means???

- muscle? hah i have no idea. sorry
- Bodyfat percentage calculators on scales are inaccurate. They merely take account of weight and height. If a 300 lb bodybuilder 2 weeks out stood on it, it would probably read 30+ BF.
- Your body fat percentage is really not that high, you need a minimum of 15-20% body fat to even be able to menstruate!!
- Neither body fat scales nor online calculators can accurately measure your body fat %. Best to buy some body fat callipers (accu-measure) and test your body fat that way.
