Bodyfat scales
I bought some tanita scales to measure my bodyfat and I have to actually put in 5cm less than my actual height to give me a reading which at 172cm puts me at 5.2%. At my actual height of 177cm the scales come up as "ErrL" which looking at the key means low bodyfat and it can't give me a reading. Why is this the case? Is it…
