When I do my bf% w/the Omron (at the gym), should I give my weight from my scale at home (typically lower) or the gym's (higher--maybe more water, just weighs differently, whatever). I go to the gym around 10 and when I do the Omron it's always preworkout, but also after water, an early morning meal, etc. I'm asking because this mornings weight at home was down to 138, and at the gym it is usually 142-144. Maybe it will be lower at the gym too. I'm thinking for consistency's sake I'll use the gym weight, but I am wondering for future reference. I just want to get the most accurate reading from that thing (and lowest if possible--that's so motivating to me). Thanks, Candace Quote
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 I always give the mOron my naked-in-the-morning weight. That will be the most consistent from reading to reading. If you give it your at-the-gym weight, the numbers will sway each time depending on what you've had for breakfast, how much water you've had to drink and what you're wearing. So, you don't really get an accurate picture of your changes over time. Also, the mOron isn't as clever as calipers. With calipers, being a little heavier usually gives you more lean mass and a lower percentage of body fat. With the mOron, if you're heavier it just thinks you're fat. Here are some more pointers on " helping " it give you a good reading: http://www.skwigg.com/id52.html On 1/13/06, cwcari <cwcari@...> wrote: > Hello, > > I am in week 12 and this question just this morning occurred to me. > > When I do my bf% w/the Omron (at the gym), should I give my weight > from my scale at home (typically lower) or the gym's (higher--maybe > more water, just weighs differently, whatever).
