Yes, they can. I have a scale that is able to tell fat and muscle mass apart
Those scales are generally precise, but they aren’t very accurate. Good if you are consistently using them and using the numbers as a reference to progress, but I wouldn’t going around saying the number is a true representation of your body fat.
You either have a full body scanner or you're a liar.
Probably a bio impedance scale, they're very inaccurate though
Correct answer. I got one on sale. I was really disappointed in just how inaccurate their BMI, bio readings were.
It's likely, it wouldn't have picked up much difference in the OP even...
The degree of exactitude of these things is so so, but if you always use yours it can give you a guideline.
