I have two scales, a Weight Watchers body analysis (but I only use the weight portion) and an Eat Smart Precision. When I first got the Eat Smart one, the difference was around .1 a lb from my Weight Watchers, but lately the two scales have been so inaccurate and often times the difference between the two is a half of a pound or more. Anyone have this issue and which do you go by?

    Not sure if those are food scales or for you but either way pick 1 scale and stick with it!! Scales can vary so just use 1 to cut confusion

    This process is difficult enough as it is without having to worry about minor discrepancies on two different scales. Pick one and go with it.

    1. On both scales, weigh something with a known weight. Use the scale that weighs the closest to the known weight. Throw the other one out.
    2. Throw them both out and get a new, hopefully accurate, one.
