Hi BBM Team,
I was wondering if you guys had any weight scales that you would recommend in terms of reliability and accuracy? I normally use a regular scale, along with waist, arm and thigh measurements to track my clients progress but some are insistent upon those digital scales which track BF%, etc. In support of their self-efficacy, (as well knowing they are gonna just go buy one anyways) I figured I would at least have one to recommend to them. Thanks in advance for your time, you guys are awesome!
We don’t have any particular scale we recommend, though I don’t think the additional tools from some scales, e.g. body fat and what not, are terribly accurate or precise. I use a competition-spec tanita scale, but that’s definitely overkill and and eyesore. I’d just pick up a digital scale and then use a comp plate (2.5kg or so) to calibrate it from time to time.
@Jordan_Feigenbaum - I was wondering, what type of kitchen scale do you use? I’ve been watching your “A Full Day of Eating” video from January 2020 and trying to figure out what scale you’re using, to no avail. Thanks in advance–love all your content!!
