Fat Mass vs Body Weight
Understanding BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis)
BIA scales send a small electrical current through your body. Fat tissue conducts less electricity than lean tissue, allowing the device to estimate body composition.
From BIA Body Fat % We Can Derive
Example Calculation
A 180 lb male at 22% body fat per BIA scale.
- 01Fat mass = 180 x 0.22 = 39.6 lbs
- 02Lean mass = 180 x 0.78 = 140.4 lbs
- 03Est muscle = 140.4 x 0.55 = 77.2 lbs
- 04Est water = 0.78 x 73 = 56.9%
