Overview of measuring

To get the most accurate absolute values, measurements should be taken while wearing no clothing, preferably in the evening, and after urinating. If you do not undress, always remove your socks or stockings, and be sure the soles of your feet are clean before stepping on the measuring platform. Stand erect on the platform. If used after bathing, the body must be completely dry.

NOTE: Accurate measurement will not be possible if the soles of your feet are not clean, or if your knees are bent or you are in a sitting position.

It is best to take measurements at the same time each day, preferably in the evening. If doing so is not convenient, remember to wait about three hours after rising, eating, or hard exercise before taking measurements. While readings taken under other conditions may not have the same absolute values, they are accurate for determining the percentage of change as long as the readings are taken in a consistent manner. To monitor progress, compare weight and body fat percentage measurements taken under the same conditions over a period of time.
