Finally a body fat scale that looks great and provides accurate results!! The Whynter® Body Fat and Water Scale is sleek and modern and has extra-large weight capacity. It also comes with ten person memory recall features. Determining both your weight and body fat percentage is as simple as stepping on an ordinary bathroom scale!

Traditionally, finding your body-fat percentage required weighing yourself under water and comparing the results with your terrestrial weight, then plugging these into an equation. The underwater method worked because fat floats and bone doesn't. You had to go to a laboratory or a gym to perform the test and it was expensive.

The innovative Whynter Body Fat and Water scale allows you to accurately measure your body fat in the comfort of your own home.

Why measure body fat?
Weight alone is not a clear indicator of good health because it does not distinguish between pounds that come from body fat and those that come from lean body mass or muscle. Carrying too much fat is a condition called obesity, and puts a person at risk for many serious medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes and even certain forms of cancer. In fact, obesity contributes to at least half the chronic diseases in western society. Overweight means an excess of total body weight based on population averages for heights and body frame sizes. Athletes and very muscular people may be overweight, but that does not mean they are over fat. Obesity means an excess of body fat regardless of weight.

BIA Body Fat Analysis
The Whynter® Body Fat Scaleuses the revolutionary BIA technology of measuring body fat and weight. It is fast, easy and accurate. A person inputs age, gender and height, then steps onto the scale platform. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low, safe signal through the body. The Body Fat Monitor measures the impedance or resistance to the small electric signal as it travels through the water that is found in muscle and fat. The more muscle a person has, the more water their body can hold. The greater the amount of water in a person's body, the easier it is for the current to pass through it. The more fat, the more resistance to the current. Weight is calculated automatically along with body fat content in less than a minute.

Body Mass Index (BMI) calculates body fat according to the relationship of weight and height.
