Are inBody Scans accurate?

Are inBody Scans accurate? That's what I go over in this video after getting an inBody scan for myself.

I share my scan results & compare it to my Withings foot scale.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Aren't you suppose to do the scan fasted? As far as I know, anything you eat or drink before the scan will show as lean mass on the scan.

I have the opposite issue with the scans. I recently started competing in body building shows but have been getting in body scan for almost a year. After my show it was showing my body fat even higher not sure why. Even though I was following a diet plan and could see the difference in my progress pictures. Anyone else have this issue?

[aronarnholdsson]

Same thing happened to me, It said i had 3, 7% bodyfat

[ericjc]

Did a DEXA and I was 12%. 2 days later I did the InBody and it said I was 6.9% lol

[blind_warriorr]

You look you’re no more than 8% body fat, maybe 9 to 10 at the very most. I think you’re way over estimating your body fat percent because you look really lean in that picture. I had an InBody scan today and it said I was 10% at 227 lbs. I know I’m definitely not that lean. I’d guess I’m more between 12 to 14%.

I started using the inbody scan at a local clinic. They give specific instructions not to eat or drink right before it. And not to workout or have high heat or cold exposure right before. From the research I've done the best way to have the inbody scan done is to wake up. Drink 8-10 oz of water to rehydrate a bit from the night. Go take the scan around 30 Mims to an hour later. Obviously not eat anything before. From what I understand with these machines is that they may not be as accurate...but that they are generally consistent. So if you're going to track with one make sure to use the same machine as well as maintain the same constants before you go in. But yea they aren't super accurate. But they also cost 20$ at my local clinic so I don't mind popping in every 2 months to just check progress. But also take it with a grain of salt

[MattSavarick]

The left side is bigger than my right side and the machine picked that up

[SeenaTabatabai]

I just did one I'm 5.8 and the Machine said I have 175 pounds if muscle I was 231 there's bi way, My stomach alone is at least 50 pounds of fat, I was 155 pounds as a senior in high school, Those places that have scans want to sell meal preps and supplements, for this poster they want to increase body fat and muscle lol.

I mean this comment with no hostility and simply like to provide the information that I have gathered.

I would personally say the InBody scan is more accurate. In my opinion and experience, you do look closer to someone who is in the 6% body fat percentage. You are very lean with good muscle mass at your height.

As far as I know, the Withings scale uses a small electric current to measure your lean muscle tissue by moving the current through the water in your muscle tissue. Because water is a good conductor of electricity and there is a lot of water in your muscle tissue, the scale can measure your lean muscle mass and it makes an attempt to differentiate between bone and fat. However, the Withings scale can only send this signal through your feet which can really only measure the lower half of your body.

The Inbody scanner on the other hand has two handles that can connect the same type of current in your feet to the one running through your hands in the handles. This gives it a more accurate reading, but it is still flawed and not 100% accurate.

Hey congrats on your wedding and thanks for this video ❤️

I just got an inbody that said I was 9.3%, I don't even have abs. This thing is way off

[SymbianBlack]

My InBody scans have been very very close to accurate and I’ve had a at home body fat scale as well. I have access to the InBody 570 version locally

[jaydendale]

Lean body mass is total weight minus fat skeletal muscle mass is total muscle

[kjeldschouten-lebbing]

InBody is just as accurate as any scan with the same technology:
NOT AT ALL.

[anthonyortiz]

When you do bioimpedence scans it's important to do is straight thing in the morning after you wake up, no liquids, no food, go to the bathroom first and dump out everything you can, don't exercise or do anything at all, no lotions or moisturizers. So my question when I see these InBody results is, have they followed all the protocols before weighing themselves?

[ajessica]

do you know which in body model you used ?

[eriknordqvist]

What was the model of the inbody that you used? There are difference in their accuracy.

[gungunrhymes]

Most gym scan machines are inaccurate
The ones in hospital are more close to reality

[yukito]

inbody is a trash. Usually you need to add %8 to result

[shahlegno]

Which InBody Machine Model you use for the scan?
