The “Body Fat” Lie
You step on a $30 scale, and it tells you your Body Fat is 18.5%, your Bone Mass is 5lbs, and your “Body Age” is 42 (rude).
How does it know? It sends a tiny electrical current through your feet.
Here is the catch: If you drink a glass of water, the number changes. If your feet are calloused, the number changes. It’s an estimate, not a medical scan.
Why You Still Need It
Because Trends > Accuracy.
The exact number might be wrong, but the direction is right. If the line is going down over 3 months, you are winning. Plus, these scales sync to your phone via Bluetooth, making you addicted to tracking. And in fitness, addiction to data is better than addiction to donuts.
