Not sure if this is the right section but I'm looking to upgrade my basic weight scale to one that shows more body parameters such as percent fat, bone mass, water mass that kind of stuff. Any suggestions? I'm new to these kind of scales but tried one at my coaches house and think it'd be a great investment!

    To get such measurements, get a DEXA scan of your body.

    IMO any scale that purports to measure anything other than weight is simply a waste of money and I would never buy one.

    I use the Fitbit Aria to give me weight and BF%. I'm not sure of the accuracy of the BF% part, but it useful to note a (hopefully downward) trend. It's linked to the wifi so instantly updates my Garmin and MFP accounts.

    Once you have Weight and BF%, you can calculate lean mass from the results.
