body fat %?
Does anyone know the accuracy of Omron Body Logic Hand Held Body Fat Monitors ? I have been using a scale that told me my BF%, and today my trainer used one that uses the same technology, except it is handheld. Well, interestingly enough, the scale has been saying I am 27% body fat ( even though I am 125 and run and work out 4 days a week), but today, the handheld said I was 17.5%!!! To my shock--obviously! my only question is--How accurate is it? Any input would help. Thanks! I had not just taken a shower...It was at 10:00 am, had done nothing to wet my hands or exercised yet..hmmm.

- who cares about body fat %, it's all ball-bearings these days
- DId you take the measurement right after a shower? That could explain the 17.5%!!! Best time to do such measurements is in the morning, right after you wake up, after going to the bathroom and before drinking any water.
