Are you losing fat or muscle?

Two weigh-ins with your weight and bodyfat. See how much of the change was fat and how much was lean mass.

How it works

Fat mass is your weight times your bodyfat. Lean mass is the rest: muscle, water, organs and bone. The change in each between two weigh-ins is the split.

A home scale finds bodyfat by sending a small current through you, so water moves its number. In a 2022 test of 14 home devices in 73 adults, a single measurement missed a lab method by about 3 to 13 points, depending on the model. When 37 of them came back 12 to 16 weeks later, the error on the change was about 2 to 3 points. So compare weigh-ins a month or more apart, each the average of a week of mornings.
