bodyfat percentage fluctuation? - Sunday, April 20, 2008 7:21 AM ( #1 )
I have a weighing scale that also measures bf% through bioimpedence.  I've noticed my percentage fluctuate between 7.5% and 11.5% on a daily basis.  Does bf actually fluctuate that much, or could this be due to inaccuracies in the scale itself?

scale is inaccurate and unreliable, they can read different %'s depending if you have just eaten or if you have had anything to drink.

Ahh, that's what I kind of figured.  Seemed like whenever I weighed more, the scale said that I had less BF.
