BodyFat scales

Simmo39

Hi,

I got a salter bodyfat scales and i was wondering the measurment of the muscle mass is that in % or kg?

It doesnt say anything in the manual:mad: It reads bodyfat %, water%,muscle mass and BMI.

Thanks.

Is there no units on the display? I'd assume it was in kg, as its muscle mass and not lean mass %.

I suppose you could check.
Add body fat % and muscle mass figure together, if this adds up to 100, its prob a percentage.
Find you body fat in kg (total weight x bf%) add this to muscle mas, if it adds up to your total weight then its in Kg

When mine is in full read mode it goes
weight
bmi
body fat %
hydration %
and then weight again

Thanks for this info. It just gives me the muscle mass figure but doest have % after it were as all the other figures do have % after it so i do think its kg.

Thanks again!
