Tanita SC-240IM Ironman Body Composition Monitor Bundle

First off, I own this machine and have been using Tanita body-fat scales since 1998. I am not connected in any way with Tanita. And I love women, so when I write about Jenn's review below, I write only because Jenn has it wrong on this scale.Jenn talks about the formulas. But does she know her own body, BMI, Body fat, enough that when she actually bought and tried this scale she would be able to review whether this machine matches what she knows about her body. Or not..I have been training for years, know my body, and track its body fat, BMI, muscle weight, through many phases, including training after major surgeries and walking my body back into shape. Tanita scales, and especially this professional model, track and help me know whether I have lost water weight, gained muscle from training, lost fat and where I lost that fat -- in short, to track all the factors that go into detailed training at a high level.This scale is the primo version available, and worth every penny of its price tag.If you are a student of your own body, then this is the tool to master how your body reacts to food, nutrition, training, and specific goals.Jenn has never tried this machine and has no idea how well it works.

while it does give results such as weight, BMI, Body Fat Mass, Body Fat range, Fat free mass, visceral fat rating, body water %, Body water mass, muscle mass, bone mass, Basal metabolic rate, metabolic age. All the parameters (except weight) are actually estimated using equations. these equations used to estimate %BF are proprietary data. Therefore it is impossible to determine if these values are accurate. Also there is a NIH research paper, that talks about difference in measurements (and error ) between whites and African Americans is due to limitations with the Tanita SC-240 measurement of impedance or if it was because the same equation was used for both races. Additional studies should be conducted with the Tanita SC-240 before one can accept the values that the machine spits out!

We put this in our weight management clinic and its perfect!
