Body Fat Analyzer Review

Finding the best body fat analyzers for you.

Body fat analyzers are very similar to the body fat monitor scales.  A lot of the body fat analyzers are also categorized as body fat scales but there are also handheld analyzers out there too.  For example the Omron Body Fat Analyzer, is a handheld device that calculates your estimated bodyfat percentage in just seven seconds flat! 

Body fat analyzers work in the same fashion as the body fat monitors.  The analyzers, and/or scales, send a safe electrical current through your body.  The current passes through muscle easier then it passes through body fat so the amount of resistance the analyzer tracks is used to calculate your body density.  Using your body density, a formula is built into the analyzer to calculate your body fat percentage.. 

Body fat analyzers and scales cannot guarantee to be 100% accurate but realistically nothing your purchase is going to be 100 % accurate.  A lot of scales and analyzers are within 5% of accuracy to your true body fat percentage which should give you a good indication of where your health is.  All scales are different so check with the manufacture to see what percentage they fall under.

There are a few key things that you should consider when measuring your body fat.  Many of these suggestions are covered in our body fat monitors review but we feel it is important to repeat them for this review.  The following suggestions will help increase the accuracy of your test:

1. Make sure you use the right type of body fat scale.  There are scales for athletes, children, etc.

2. Keep the time of the day that you measure yourself consistent.  If you normally take measurements in the morning then continue to take your measurements in the morning to ensure accurate results. 

3. Avoid testing yourself after exercising.  Sweating effects the amount of water in your body composition which in turn effects the results of the test and will return inaccurate information.

4. Try to monitor your skin temperature if possible.  Your temperature does have an effect on the electrical current. 

The nice thing about having a body fat scale is that you can also weigh yourself as you take your body fat.  However, both the handheld analyzers and body fat scales are good models.  It really just comes down to personal preference on which design you choose.

Just like the body fat monitors there are a variety of different body fat analyzers to choose from.  Outlined below we have put together a list of different types of body fat analyzers for you to choose from.  Click on the links for the individual analyzers to find out more about what they offer.
