Does it matter if the fat percentage includes water? How much of it could be water and not fat?

The device measures the impedance of a current flowing between two parts of your body, usually hands (this device) or feet (body-fat-measuring scales). Since muscle contains water, whereas fat does not, the higher the fat percentage, the higher the impedance. The device has to assume an average distribution of fat and an average level of hydration. The more hydrated, the lower a body-fat percentage the device will measure, and the more dehydrated, the higher a percentage. So, if one is dehydrated due to sweating, or coffee or alcohol intake, the device will over-estimate ones body-fat percentage. Eating close to a reading will also affect the reading. So, it is very important for measurements to be made under similar conditions, and away from any food or water intake, for the readings to be accurate and/or comparable.

I usually measure myself in the morning right after I wake up and go to the bathroom. I think that consistency helps me monitor changes accurately.

That is a very good question. Water intake will affect your reading, but if you measure yourself in the morning, you typically have less water in your system and will get a much more accurate reading. It's not going to be 100% accurate, but it's accurate enough to help you gauge your nutritional requirements. I have used other methods, and the readings on this device are quite consistent. I usually use it in the morning and a bit after the gym, then log my results.

Personally, I think it's all about taste and it's not an exact science, but I use maybe a teaspoon AND a teaspoon of RediBeets together in 12oz of purified H2O...yummy!

Nope, I use 2% milk. It's good with any milk, might taste better with buttermilk but that's also more fattening.

Water tastes pretty good if you are trying to get only the nutrition provided by the powder, but my favorite is mixing with whole milk. The extra calories from the milk help me put more weight on and it makes the the drink more like a shake. You can also use 2% or skim milk, but the less fat, the closer the taste gets to if you were to mix with water. I hope that helps! I love the powder and it tastes great, especially for the price.

Calorie and Fat ??? Doesn't matter ! You are using this as a flavoring agent... a spoonful at a time.

It uses age to calculate body fat percentage, bone density, water percentage, and muscle percentage. Those are the four calcs it gives besides weight.

Sorry, I haven't had that experience. Could it be the fat content in your ingredients?

Yes. It's basically a combination of these two healthy fats. Combined is better than eating a single fat alone and you save more time and money in the long run.

That's how I read it. So as long as you're adding the meat and water as directed for the dog with normal activity, it should have a 5% fiber content because of the addition of water.

No this is for the creamy version. It has 2.5 g of sat fat or 12 percent. Thanks, Nick

Must be an error by the manufacturer. This product is just whole milk with the water taken out...so 2 Tbp of this will have the same nutritional content as 1 cup of milk. If you look on milk, one serving has 12g of carbs (at least that's what the 2% currently in my fridge says) and it is all sugars...lactose one would assume. This is not a carb-free or sugar-free (or fat free) product...merely water-free :) ...the manufacturer should probably fix this.

I can't answer that but I would go online to find out. I know that trans fats aren't good for you. Sorry I can't help.

The description says that it's in an olive oil base. Olive oil, being a fat, has calories. Hence, though the calorie count must be totally negligible, these can't be completely calorie-free.

Ditto on the fat content and moisture content. I started using it to maintain my Schnauzers' weights and on my vet's recommendation. Also, Schnauzers are prone to pancreatitis, so low fat is important. All of my dogs absolutely love this food. Two other dogs in the family, not Schnauzers, love it as well!

Trynell, it depends on what you are making. The box provides many suggested recipes. If a recipe calls just for water, I also include butter since butter is zero carbs. I hope this helps. :)

Not stated; based on the contents (vegetable glycerin, purified water, natural lemon flavor) one can conclude caloric/carbs would be insignificant
