GETTING ACCURATE READINGS

To ensure accuracy, readings should be taken without clothing and under consistent conditions of hydration.

Try to wait about three hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
