Ive never experienced it myself so based on my experience id say that indeed weight and body fat have correlated pretty well. Looking for advice on how to measure and track body fat percentage.

Fitbit body fat measurement. It is a simple calculation based only on your height which youve told the app and weight which the aria air measures. I think that the only truly accurate way of measuring body fat percentage is through a trainer at a gym or a doctor unless someone out in fitbit land knows another way to do it keep in mind that the bmi body mass index doesnt measure fat it only compares your weight to your height in a very rough estimate of how much you should weigh for your height. I just use a google sheet to keep track of my measurements. If you go to the fitbit app and the weight tile then swipe left the third graph is bmi body mass index. Please check out this information on your profile settings through your web based dashboard. The fitbit aria 2 wi fi scale measures weight bmi and body fat but it gave me less data than the rest of the scales.
If the information is correct and the issue persists please take out the batteries for 15 seconds and put them back in. Body weight body fat get body fat logs. Body fat log entries are available only to authorized user. I occasionally see posts from aria users that say something like i ate a grape and aria reports i went from 16 to 812 body fat. When weight has come down so has body fat and vice versa. Theres this thing called body recomposition which is changing the ratio of fat mass to lean mass without necessarily lowering the weight.
This digital bathroom scale is best for people who currently use a fitbit. I consider myself regular and 25 bf seems very inaccurate. I tried out a few apps but ultimately didnt want to maintain yet another app for something so simple. If you need to fetch only the most recent entry you can use the get body measurements endpoint. The get body fat logs api retrieves a list of all users body fat log entries for a given day in the format requested. My preference is a method that does not require calipers or special scales but that may not be feasible.
Lean mode is intended for professional or very high level athletes like marathon runners or body builders. I exercise 6 7 days a week and i am around 18 body fat. I do wish fitbit would allow us to track our body measurements. The aria scale measures your body fat according to your personal info weight height and gender. Id argue that its the more important indicator of body re composition than the numbers on the scale. Body fat percentage is calculated as fat mass divided by total mass.
If you significantly lower the total mass while fat mass stays the same body fat percentage will increase simply due to the above math.
