Hi - this is a bit off topic for Intervals, but I thought one of the very smart people here might have some insight. (I will also send a question to Withings).
I have a Withings smart scale. I recognize that the calculations are all influenced by how hydrated I am, so I don’t put much stock in day to day variations in lean mass, body fat %, etc. However, my assumption was that trends over longer periods - months, a year - would be more accurate as day to variations in body water would be in the noise. I was looking at the past year, and was pleased to see a decrease in body fat %. However, I then looked at Water over the same year and saw the same trend.
It’s possible that I’ve been genuinely improving my hydration over the past 12 months - but I suspect this isn’t real, which makes me think it’s some kind of drift in the scale. Anyone have any knowledge about this?
Thanks,
Michael
