Are there optimal conditions for determining body fat percentage using Tanitas products?
Yes, there are select a consistent time of day, and stick to it, with an empty bladder, and when normally hydrated. Things that can affect hydration include: strenuous exercise, recent food intake diuretics such as caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications. Early morning is not recommended because the body is often dehydrated after a night’s sleep. Once you have established your baseline, monitor body fat about twice a month. Checking body fat more frequently is not beneficial as changes occur slowly over time.
