How weight scales with Body Fat percentage calculation work?
Hi, I'm in a competetion, the total loss rate weight and percentage of fat determines the winner. In addition to Diet And Exercise, is there something specific you can do in the final days of the competetion to squeeze an extra 0.5% in body fat percentage scale for cheating? For example, if I drink a liter of water before the weigh-in will add pounds, but may decrease body fat percentage? The scale of% body fat is measured in increments of 0.5%, so that only a small change can make it go from 10.0 to 9.5% for example. That small difference can be huge in the outcome.
Most body fat scales I've seen the use of electrical impedance measure the content of the body. I do not know how to fool the scale, but the theory of water looks like it could work. The only thing is that if you push too much, runs the risk of water toxicity.
