Body fat scales - Body fat monitoring scales are very popular because they can easily calculate your weight and your body fat in one setting. Most body fat monitor scales work by sending a safe electrical current through your body. The electrical current is able to pass easier through lean muscle than body fat, so the amount of resistance the current faces is used to calculate the body density.
