How accurate are smart scales BF % Wise?

[Nims]

I've recently been dieting started on the 5th of July almost one month ago to decrease my BF.

These were the stats recorded by the scale.
July 5th

• Body weight: 63.4kg
• BF: 20.8%
• Muscle Mass: 75.1%

Today (August 2nd)

• Body weight: 59.9kg
• BF: 14.5%
• Muscle Mass: 81.2%

Something important to consider with the muscle gain is I have been taking HGH so that has probably caused that even with such a high deficit.

Spoiler: Stats

For anyone interested ill link my diet, it's 1200kcals so it's quite extreme.

How accurate do you think these stats are?

Add like 2% of bodyfat to your tests and you get something somewhat accurate

They’re useless imo

Just judge using your own eye

What does 0 mean? Are you just bumping the thread?

It can but I was mainly stating it due to the fact I gained quite an increase in muscle mass, while eating at a 800kcal deficit.

Not very accurate, but you can do some things before you take the tests to get a better results, do it after a 12 hours of fasting, do it before you're training, take your waterintake into account if there's a drastic increase and so forth,. If you do all that it should be +-2% (mostly it shows lower bf% than you really are depending on scale)

It also does not take into account distribution, then again this matters little at low bf%. It simply gives you a relatively accurate raw number but is not as good as getting a dexa scan.
