Are the H20, Muscle Mass &amp; Bone Mass values percentages of total bodyweight? Or of lean mass (BW minus BF)?

total body weight = lean mass + fat lean mass = bones + muscles + organs Water is not part of that equation and you don't know what your organs weigh so you can't just add up the numbers. If your fat is 24.6% then your lean mass is 75.4%. If your mass is 192.4 lbs and your lean mass is 75.4% then your lean mass is 145.07 lbs. Muscle mass would be 31.8% of 192.4 or 61.8 lbs. Bone mass is 3.3% of 192.4 lbs or 6.35 lbs. Body fat would be 24.6% of 192.4 or 47.33 lbs. Your organ mass would be what is left over, 40.3% or 77.53 lbs. All of that is working with the figures you are given but I don't think the calculations by these scales are really very accurate. They are at best estimates and probably vary greatly just by how hydrated you are at the moment. Plus, it is more complicated than that. For instance, the heart is an organ but it is also muscle. I wouldn't put much stock in what any scale tells you regarding these calculations and I don't check them myself. If the scale gives you an accurate body mass be happy then take those other figures as just for fun. Also, you could lose significant mass of fat and still have the same percentage of body fat or even a higher percentage if you also lost lean mass. I would recommend that you do not base your self-assessment or behavior on measurements of a complex interrelationship measured by a crude tool (electrical current through your feet) and calculated with standard formulae.

Yes it sure does!!! It lights up bone mass and shows you the number for bone mass. Then lights up body fat % and gives you the number for that. It will go through all 4 components and let you know your numbers! :)

I bought a box of packets on amazon and use it every day. I'm looking at the back of a packet. It says Cal 0, Total Fat 0g, Total Carb <1g, Sugars <1g, Protein 0g.

Not sure what you mean by "percentage". If you mean % of US RDA, then Vitamin D3 600 IU = 150%; Calcium 1g (1,000 mg) = 100%; Magnesium 500 mg = 125%; Zinc 10 mg = 67%. Hope that helps.

I'm not positive but I think the 29.99 scale might not have the app or tell you bf% and muscle mass

The scale has three settings: male, female, and athlete. The athlete setting recognizes very lean and muscular body types. If the youth has a lean body type, select the 'athlete' body type. Otherwise, just select male or female. That should do it.

Yes. There are two program buttons (the left button and the right button), which each of two users can put in their height and age, and when your "on" button is the one pressed, you will get weight, body fat % and body water %. If you only want weight, you use the middle "on" button.

Healthy weight one is higher in protein and has 42 calories per cup more. If you know any humans that have been on a diet all their life,they will tell you they gain the weight back then some.Reason,they lost a lot of muscle which weighs more than fat,and burns fat. The higher protein in formula 1 is to keep and build the muscle, when near or at ideal weight switch to formula 2.Replied to old post in case others have same question.347 cal in 1, 305 in 2.

BMI is calculated/reported after your weight on the scale itself. The app only tracks weight and BMI, but you can always export or transmit the data to other apps that may calculate out water, bone & lean mass for you.

I saw this on Dr Oz's show he said what you need to look for when purchasing this is a HCA of at least 60% this has 75%. My husband and I started it weighed ourselves 3 weeks later my husband was weighed at his MD he had lost 11 lbs although he started walking as exercise it was inconsistent. I am noticing a huge difference in the way his clothes fit. I am not as consistent taking it but I have lost the same.

If you take the Magnesium Taurate then you mst likely are taking the right proportions . The ne who could best answer that question for you would be your health care practitioner, This person would know your body best

Yes it does, along with muscle mass, water weight, metabolic age, visceral fat & body type. Weight and % body fat is standard.

I don't know how accurate the bodyfat, bone mass index... But the weight is accurate. By just putting a heavy weight say a luggage or weights on this scale, it will still show the bodyfat and bone density. Haha... So I think it's is just a calculation and not really measured by the silver metal plate over the scale.

It has memory for Eight people, classified by gender, age and two body types. It does take time for it's body mass percentage calculators to become more accurate. It was about two weeks of weighing every other day befor the water/fat/bone percentages started to make sense.

I made the same observation. There's a huge difference between 0 protein and 11 grams of protein. I wonder why.

I wear both and I will say , there is a huge difference! My burn is always WAY HIGHER with the BM... as the FB doesn't register when I am standing in one place (which the FB puts as sendentary, when in actuality, a person burns more while just standing alone) My average burn over the past week with FB has been 2578, my average burn with BM has been 3346 THAT is a huge difference in my book!!! BM however doesn't log all your steps taken, unless your arm is moving... like when you push a cart, not as many steps are taken, or when you type on the computer while you march in place, etc... I love both of them for different reasons... I am actually have the NEW LEAF test done at school in a couple weeks, so then I can compair the numbers to the FB and BM... to see which is really the most percise! BTW, I am a female, weight 161, 5'6", I am fairly muscular (I love to lift!) and my BF % is 25. If that helps any with the visual for calorie burn difference....

With BIA it only factors in the mass that is being measured. So, if you have a handheld, it will measure the upper body and torso but a staring scale will measure from leg-to-leg. So depending where you hold your fat, it can be significantly different between hand held and leg-to-leg readings. A con of BIA. I hope this helps.
