Question:
Need a scale that ACCURATELY measures weight in lbs and also BMI?
I have the worst luck with scales. Probably because I buy cheap ones from Walgreens. They all end up being throw-aways. The most recent one I bought because it was fairly cheap and had the first ounce listed (ie 126.5). The only problem is it ONLY every reads .5 or .0. I think that is all it is capable of reading! Very deceptive if you ask me.
Anyway, I'd like one that ACCURATELY reads at least the first ounce and it would also be nice if it accurately measured BMI. I'm trying to do weight training and lose weight so BMI is a pretty important factor for me to test accurately if I can. Thanks! I'm willing to pay for a nice one now I just need some recommendations because i don't really know who sells good scales.
Answers:
I can't recommend scales, but I know you don't need one that measures BMI. You can do that yourself.
BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches ) ) x 703
You should know that BMI isn't always reliable, either, depending on the person's build and muscle mass. If you're weight training, you will be gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat. You might look better, but weigh more at the same time.
