QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Jul 9 2010, 12:13 AM) In case it's not noted, the scales weighing body fat can be misleading as the readings can be influenced by the amount of water in your body. That's the problem I have, I'm not too sure it's water or fat at all hence how to measure?   |

It measures the electrical resistance of the body.
It doesn't measure water. The hydration level of your body affects its reading, but it is still a pretty OK for general reference. In fact, there are preparation protocol that needs to be followed before measuring to increase consistency and accuracy: http://myhome.spu.edu/weathers/bodycomp.htm » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « http://www.formulamedical.com/fORMULA%20FO...preparation.htm » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Jul 9 2010, 01:10 AM |

Yeah but that kinda interferes with my diet that dictates me to eat every 3.5 hours. LOL. But as you said, general reference or guesstimate.
And to Sarah, the scale does measure fat mass and total body water. So you can get a general reading.  Best of luck with your plan. |

If ur goal is to lose weight and those are the correct of carbs, protein and fat that u need then it should be fine. When i was losing fat, any meal other than breakfast and postworkout, i consume oranges for my carbs (careful with the pick of fruit, some fruits give pretty crazy GI level like watermelon and it used to be my favourite lol. Apple is a very decent pick) |

Read the label.
If the carbs is high then it is fattening. If the fat is high then it is NOT fattening. |

I guess I'll turn back to bolognese time again now I'm quite fussy in cooking, hence always put a lot of nice ingredients for my cooking but nowadays need to watch out for that already, got to be much more careful than last time Anyway, it's weekend, at the end I had all the cheat meals |
