The Best Body Composition Measuring Scale is an at-home scale that will show weight, fat percentage, muscle percentage, and much more.  It was selected best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for its accuracy and features.  At a price tag of $119.95, it is certainly not an inexpensive scale – but if you are serious about your diet and want to get an accurate reading on your body composition, this is the scale for you.  Don’t waste your money on cheaper imitations, as in the long run you’ll have more than $120 invested in your scale by the time you find one that you are happy with.  This scale uses a bioelectrical impedance technology to send a harmless bioelectrical current through your body to measure your body fat percentage, visceral fat level, skeletal muscle mass, resting metabolism, body mass index, and body age.  During product testing at the Human Performance Lab at the University of Illinois-Chicago, this model scored highest for accuracy across weight and BMI readings because it was only 0.11% off of the beam scale measurement.  Unlike cheaper body composition scales, this one is able to measure your entire body’s composition using six total sensors – 2 on a handheld unit and 4 on the scale itself.

This scale saves profiles for 4 different users and holds data for up to 180 days.  The display is easy to operate and and provides a clear readout of all necessary information in 1″ tall numbers.   It measures up to 330lbs in 0.2lb increments and should be a great addition to anyone’s fat loss goals.  Remember the mantra that, if you can’t track it, you can’t fix it!
