Body Fat Analyzers Help Determine How Much of Your Weight is Fat
Your BMI is an indicator of you weight health but does not differentiate between fat and muscle. Those losing weight may get frustrated with the scale staying the same as muscle builds.
An ordinary scale can tell you your weight, but what does that say about your health - not whole a lot. In order to give you better idea of what your weight really means in terms of your overall health, there are body fat monitor scales that not only look at your weight, but how much of that weight is fat. Indeed, one of the most popular brands of body fat monitor/ scales is Tanita. They offer such combo scales that "provide detailed body composition analysis: weight, impedance, body fat %, body mass index, fat mass, fat-free mass and more." These numbers give you a much better idea of your general health than the singly weight number you get with regular scales.
Why Monitor Body Fat?
- Body fat is a better indicator of overall health than weight
- Body fat is a good way to track your fitness level
- Decreasing body fat levels are a great motivational tool
