Anyone have a recommendation on a good scale that shows body fat percentage. I know there are kinds that show more than just weight and body fat as well so recommendations on those too.

I had one a while back that was good but had to get rid of it when I moved.

    Buy a digital scale and a pair of body fat calipers. The body fat percentages given by those scales are usually way off.

    Sorry I don''t have a real recommendation except that all retail scales are doing a fake-out calculation based on average human ratios using your height, weight, age and a practically irrelevant electrical measurement. It is just an entertainment, which may be enough.

    So you might as well go cheap. I do find it helpful to know the measurement with a resolution of 0.2 pounds, but as you may know, weight can correctly vary several pounds in a day.

    Spend your scale money on a body fat caliper and measuring tape.
