Body Fat % (Read 770 times)

You've got the weight field. How about body fat %? My weight is remaining steady but I'm dropping body fat and gaining lean muscle. Would love to be able to chart this progress.

Don't spend your money on those scales, they are not very accurate. I was looking into getting one until I read about them. Your level of hydration and other things such as skeletal mass, etc, has more effect on the results than body fat. It's better investing in a set of body fat calipers. For example: http://www.accumeasurefitness.com/. They are much cheaper and more accurate. It's the kind of device fitness trainers use. The only more accurate method is dunking you in a tank of water to see how much water you displace.

I get pretty consistent results with the calipers. I actually wish they were a little less consistent and trending downwards I take the measurement three to four times and take the average. Usually, I they are all the same except for one which I ignore. Regarding being able to log body fat percentage, I think the log is starting to have quite a lot of data to log. I wonder if we could have "custom" data logged. Just like the run types you could add values you wish to log in your log options. For example, if you want to track the amount of hair you have on your head, just add an entry called "hair amount", et voilà. Sounds simple, but it's probably complicated to implement in the log.
