Omron BF511 Blue

I bought this scale because I am (or have been) on a heavy diet. I have lost 25 kilos and wanted more information about fat percentage, etc.

This scale measures everything you need to know, namely your fat percentage, weight, muscle mass, BMI, VFL, Kcal,... You get a lot of information that you can compare with your previous meeting.

You can save 4 profiles on the scale, and then create a guest profile too. This way you can quickly do your meeting every day without having to set it up every time.

You remove the screen with the metal grip from the scale. You should extend your hands straight out in front of you while holding it. With this method, it not only measures the fat in your legs and poop, but also the abdomen and shoulders (the current starts at your hands and goes to your feet). This allows you to measure your entire body.

CAUTION: Improper posture (not stretching arms at a 90-degree angle to your body) may cause your results to fluctuate and therefore not be accurate.

TIP: systematically measure at the same time for good results. I measure myself every morning just after I get up and go to the toilet. The manual tells you when you should and shouldn't measure.

I was looking for a scale that is based on more points than just the measurement along the feet. This should give you a more accurate result.

For this I had an internet scale (youw8) where you only saw the weight and then you could see your fat percentage and muscle mass online. The problem was that sometimes the data was not sent and you only saw this afterwards, so when it was already too late and had already eaten or drunk ...

Hence a step back in time, but more convenient as far as I'm concerned. With the Omron I immediately see all data from the moment itself and from previous weighing. If desired, I can also enter this at Fitnesspall or such an app so that you can also see your evolution in the longer term.

In the beginning you have to read the manual on how to weigh yourself correctly, but after 2x you are of course gone.

For example, you first have to take out the (hand) holder and only then stand on the scale, otherwise it will add the weight of the holder :-) This is simple but you have to know it... so first go through the manual and then everything will become clear.

I am certainly satisfied with it.

We tested 2 of these products side by side on different people. all measurements on weight after weeks apart. There is no possibility to calibrate so that body fat percentage and BMI are displayed correctly.
