You still don't get it do you? You say you have no clue whether your BF analyzer is reading too high or two low. We also know hydration affects it's relative results also rendering it inaccurate. so how is your BF analyzer an improvement over a simple scale that measures weight?
Neither device can tell you what your BF is, nor can either device tell what % is fat, what % is lean muscle mass, and what % is water.
At least we know that gravity is a very good standardized constant and the scale reliable. We have no such confidence in bioelectrical impedence algos

You do realize the simple scale suffers from the exact same hydration problem as a bf scale.
So what good is a simple scale if its readings are fluctuating due to hydration ?

Cleanly broke the psychological level with one day of workout to go. I will probably also work out on the weekend, but probably lightly.
Trying to rotate the muscle groups I do so that I give my body a chance to repair that muscle and grow it back. I didn't have the SBUX oatmeal today and I was definitely having a harder time going all out. In spite of low energy level, I had my hardest workout level yet on the treadmill side. This is almost certainly due to the fact that I am fitter and I am carrying less weight. If I can combine it with a strong showing on the weights as well, I will easily be buring >500 calories per day just excersising. I doubt if this is earth shattering, but of the approximately 2000 calories I eat a day, that means 500 are burned, leaving ~2500 calories a week under the amount to sustain an average adult male body. This appears to equate to about ~2 lbs a week of fat weight loss...

Neither. A simple pinch test beats them all and the mirror does not lie.
