If I measure my body fat and water at different times during the day, it can vary quite
considerably.Which value is correct?
Your body fat percentage reading varies with body water content, and the latter changes throughout
the course of the day.There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but aim to take
measurements at a regular time when you consider your body to be normally hydrated. Avoid taking
readings after having a bath or sauna, following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in
quantity or eating a meal.
How do I interpret my body fat and water percentage readings?
Please refer to the Body Fat and Water tables included with the product.They will guide you as to
whether your body fat and water reading falls into a healthy category (relative to your age and sex).
What should I do if my body fat reading is very ‘high?
A sensible diet, fluid intake and exercise program can reduce your body fat percentage. Professional
medical guidance should always be sought before embarking on such a program.
Why are the body fat percentage ranges for men and women so different?
Women naturally carry a higher percentage of fat than men, because the make-up of the body is
different being geared towards pregnancy, breastfeeding etc.
What should I do if my water percentage reading is ‘low’?
Ensure that you are regularly taking sufficient water and work towards moving your fat percentage
into the healthy range.
Why should I avoid using the Fitness Plus Personal Scale whilst pregnant?
During pregnancy a woman’s body composition changes considerably in order to support the developing
child. Under these circumstances, we recommend only weight readings are taken.
Why is the Fitness Plus Personal Scale unsuitable for athletes and children?
The body composition of both athletes and children require different mathematic algorithms for the
body fat, body water and BMR calculations.
