What is the Advantage of Digital?
This computerized skinfold caliper is accurate down to millimeters
with a measuring range to 60mm. This caliper stores each measurement
in memory and then calculates body fat percentage instantly and
accurately. It uses a patent pending "Floating Code Thickness Measuring
System" that detects the smallest changes in your body fat measurements.
The device has an "undo" function in case the measurement is done
incorrectly. Data can be stored for up to three separate people.
FatTrack II also has a "self-calibration"feature that maintains
a lifetime measuring accuracy. You can see changes in your body
fat levels over time since the caliper stores maximum and minimum
thickness at each measuring site.
 Why Ideal Weight?
The body weight display from scales as an indicator of over/underweight
is sometimes misleading. It is due to the fact that body composition
is different from each individual; frame size, muscle construction,
and other factors are variable. It is a better approach to determine
our ideal weight by making use of your body fat percentage. First,
to determine your desired body fat percentage, you can refer to
the Body Fat Percentage Rating Scale. Then,
by measuring your body fat percentage and body weight, you can determine
your ideal weight. An adequate weight loss program is a combination
of exercise and diet. Dieting alone is unhealthy for muscle tissue.
Are You Replacing Fat with Muscle?
By monitoring the changes of your lean body weight, you will
be able to tell whether or not you are replacing fat with muscle.
Lean body weight can be found by subtracting your body weight with
you body fat weight. You body fat weight is calculated by multiplying
your weight with your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage can
be found by measuring three key locations on your body, shown on
this measuring diagram that is included free
with the caliper. The FatTrack II Caliper calculates these numbers
for you using the Jackson and Pollock body density equation. The
mathematical results are displayed to a decimal figure, to satisfy
the needs of the most demanding user.
