If you’ve been in the market for a bathroom scale lately, you realize that these stairs are not like the old, cumbersome analog scales your parents could have stored under the sink in the bathroom. Today’s scales are beautiful, extremely accurate and offer countless exceptional features driven by information technology that we could only dream of a decade ago.
But all the features can be confusing if you are not sure of what you are doing. And the more functions you add to your bathroom scale, the more expensive it is, so it’s important to understand what the features are to decide if you spend that kind of money or not.
Here is a description of the common features you will find in modern digital bathroom scales:

Measurement
Obviously, no bathroom scale would be a scale without measuring its weight. For the most part, all digital scales will be more accurate than an analog scale, so no matter which one you choose, it should be fine, as long as you do not go with an out-of-brand model. The other thing you should know about this feature is that some scales are not rated for certain weights; Most are rated for up to 300-320 pounds. So, if you’re heavier than that, make sure you look for a balance.
Body fat Percentage
Many of today’s high-end scales offer more features than simple weight. Probably the second most popular feature is a measurement of body fat percentage. This feature is excellent because when you say you want to lose weight, what you want to say is that you want to lose fat. If your weight loss program includes a weight lifting program, you may not notice much movement in the weight portion of the scale when you are healthier. This is where% body fat comes into play. Measure the% of your body that is fat. As long as that number decreases, even if your weight remains the same, you are becoming healthier.

Percentage Of Body Water
An important part of the human body is water. Lean muscle tissue contains about 75% water. Blood contains 95% water, body fat contains 14% water and bone has 22% water. The human body contains approximately 60% water in adult men and 55% in adult women. Many people believe in monitoring% body water as another measure of their health and there are scales today that offer this feature. For your average user, this feature is probably not necessary, but if you are very interested in your body measurements, this is a great addition to add.
Body Mass Index
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that is applied to adult men and women. Because it depends on the height as one of the measurements for the calculation, there are some scales that allow you to enter your height in the memory of the scale to tell you what your BMI is. BMI is something that the doctor will use to describe a range of health, for example, if you are obese or have morbid obesity. Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater.
Now that you understand the features of a digital bathroom scale, you are ready to buy one and start planning your weight loss goals.
