If I want to track my body fat percentage using an at-home scale and a professional scale...
My home scale says that my body fat is 26.8%.
The professional scale says that my body fat is 22.9%
I thought I had it figured out that as my body fat decreases, I would multiply the home scale (higher) amount by 0.8545. 26.8*0.8545=22.9
My friend's at home scale said he was 17.5%, but the professional scale said he was 16%. Using the equation of home scale multiplied by 0.8545 gives him 14.9%. This tells me that as my body fat decreases, this formula will no longer work.
What formula can I use to accurately track my body fat, using my at-home scale?
For example, if my body fat decreases, and my home scale says 25%, what formula do I use to estimate what the professional scale would say?
