Many of the early research studies showed that BIA was quite variable and it was not regarded by many as providing an accurate measure of body composition. In recent years technological improvements have made BIA a more reliable and therefore more acceptable way of measuring body composition. Nevertheless, it is not a "gold standard" or reference method

So had a session on the Boditrax scales this afternoon.
75% muscle and 14% fat - they said that was pretty good. How accurate are these things?
They said that when resting my body requires 2300 calories - is that just to maintain? I didn't ask them.
